I think using a simple utility like Westec's TapeWORM and adding the 
encryption scheme may solve that problem.  Anyone have any good encryption 
algorithms?  Have you seen the TapeWORM product, its better than tar 
because your tape drive becomes a drive letter.  Check our a free 
evaluation copy and get back to me.
