Does The Tape Drive Encrypt Media In An Earlier Lto Format; Where Can I Get More Information - Fujitsu LTO-6 User Manual

3.7.5 Does the tape drive encrypt media in an earlier LTO
format?
Encryption is supported only on LTO Ultrium-6 media, LTO Ultrium-5 media, and
LTO Ultrium-4 media.
Encrypted LTO Ultrium-6, LTO Ultrium-5 and LTO Ultrium-4 tapes can be read
on any compatible LTO tape drive that supports hardware encryption. (LTO-6
tape drives can read and write encrypted LTO Ultrium-6 media and LTO
Ultrium 5 media. LTO-6 tape drives can read encrypted LTO Ultrium-4 media.)
Hardware encryption is not supported on any earlier LTO media, such as LTO
Ultrium-3 media.

documentation supplied with your backup application. This will also highlight
any default states, for example when copying tapes, that may need changing if
using encrypted tapes.
