Chapter 4 Operating Your Tape Drive

Handling Cartridges

27 Quantum DAT 320 User’s Guide

• If you are recovering your system after a disaster

What happens if I don't

remember the key?

If you are unable to supply the key when requested to do so, neither you

nor Quantum Support will be able to access the encrypted data.

This guarantees the security of your data, but also means that you must

be careful in the management of the encryption key used to generate

the tape.

Caution: You should keep a record or backup of your encryption

keys and store them in a secure place separate from the

computer running the backup software.

Does encryption affect

tape drive

performance?

Hardware encryption can be used with or without compression and

without speed or capacity penalties.

Does the tape drive

encrypt media in an

earlier format?

No. Encryption is supported only on DAT 320 GB media.

DAT 320 GB tapes encrypted on DAT 320 tape drives can be read on any

compatible DAT 320 tape drive that supports hardware encryption.

DAT 320 tape drives can read DAT 160 GB media and write DAT 160 GB

media, but hardware encryption is not supported on these formats.
