No
Data transfer without encryption.

No data encryption
Data is not encrypted at the device server.
Encrypt data at the device server (primary and twin tape)
Data is encrypted at the device server of both the primary and twin tapes. Hardware compression does not matter if same tape model/media is used.
Encrypt data at the device server (primary tape only)
For the primary tape, data is encrypted at the device server. Hardware compression does not matter.
Encrypt data at the device server (twin tape only)

An explanation of each field and the available choices follows:
Two sets of mail information can be specified:
Output Email
Specifies that the subsequent fields apply to reports that are sent when a job has completed.
Operator Email
Specifies that the subsequent fields apply to mount requests, error messages, and informational messages that are sent during a job.
The email address of the primary recipient of your message. Only one “To” address is permitted.
Carbon Copy. The email address(es) of the secondary recipient(s) of your message. Use a semicolon to delimit multiple email addresses.
Blind Carbon Copy. The email address(es) of the secondary recipient(s) not identified to other recipients. Use a semi-colon to delimit multiple email addresses.
The subject of your message. The subject line usually contains a combination of straight text and variable elements. Variables, which must begin with %, are replaced with actual corresponding values. If you enclose variables in double quotation marks, those variables are treated as literal values. You can embed the following variables:
%JOBNAME
%JOBID
%JOBTYPE
%RC
Use %RC to include the return code in the message for this run of the job, when applicable.
Selecting this check box option temporarily disables notifications for the job without deleting the currently defined job notification data.
Note. DPX emailing must be enabled when you first configure your Enterprise. At that time, you supply general system information, including SMTP Host Name and SMTP Port. See .
