I think the encryption in TSM is more for users like me (the TSM Client, not the TSM Admin). I work remote from a company site, so all of my data goes over a VPN network. By encrypting the data going across the line, I'm protected from any "hacker kiddies" out there who are trying to steal my e-mail, or a report I've prepared. Under this assumption (and that's all that it is - I'm an Admin, not a developer), only having encryption on the Win32 client makes sense. I can also see the linux client also getting encryption as linux becomes more popular for workstations. When it comes to the Big Data, the security has to be somewhere else besides the backup software. For more on that, see my earlier response on this thread about security of the data.
