What do you use to create encrypted backup tapes?

[clund]

Currently we use good ole' sysback for creating backup tapes but I have been asked to find out what the options are for creating encrypted backups.

My preference would be something that can create bootable tapes that are encrypted. But if that's not an option then I am thinking about setting up a NIM server and do all backups to that (un-encrypted) and then just do an encrypted backup to tape of the VG with the backup date.

We currently have eight AIX servers (5.2 and 5.3).

We are considering a solution from NeoScale called CryptoStor. Anyone have any thoughts on solutions like this...other than it's expensive (around $30K) .

If you like sysback then definitely tape a look at

(the people who created sysback) as their facility can create encrypted backups. Works great... even across a network.
