compatible LTO tape drive that supports hardware encryption. (LTO-5 tape
drives can read and write encrypted LTO Ultrium 5 media and LTO Ultrium 4
media.)
Hardware encryption is not supported on any earlier LTO media, such as LTO
Ultrium 3 media.

Where can I get more information?

For detailed instructions about enabling encryption please refer to the
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.
