My fc lto4 drives are attached to two 16 port Brocade switches. Not sure of the models. I believe they are just fc switches. I have two filers also attached to the same Brocade switches.</P><P></P><P>I have seen that Brocade have an encryption san switch which looks to be an expensive solution to my problem.</P><P></P><P>What other alternatives are there to encrypt my data being snapmirrored to tape.</P><P></P><P>Thanks</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:27:00 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Encrypting-tapes-that-have-been-written-by-snapmirror-to-tape/m-p/75384#M17602 jason_pope 2025-06-05T07:27:00Z Re: Encrypting tapes that have been written by snapmirror to tape. https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Encrypting-tapes-that-have-been-written-by-snapmirror-to-tape/m-p/75389#M17603 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Well, the obvious suspect around here is NetApp Decru appliance, but I doubt you could classify it as cheap <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></P><P></P><P>There is embedded encryption capability in many (of not all) LTO4 drives, but I am actually not quite sure how to use it (is it still backup software dependent?)</P><P></P><P>Regards,<BR />Radek</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:22:59 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Encrypting-tapes-that-have-been-written-by-snapmirror-to-tape/m-p/75389#M17603 radek_kubka 2009-06-22T20:22:59Z
