How to Verify Tape Media Encryption

[Navar]

I got it figured out how to encrypt Duplication job to tape.

Now how to i verify the restore process from tape when all i have is the pass pharse.  I want to verify that it works.

Dont want to learn i typed in the pass phrase wrong two years from now.

Remove the passphrase from the BE server and try a restore.  You would be prompted for the passphrase.  If you input the wrong passphrase, then your encrypted backup set is no longer accessible and there is no way to recover the correct passphrase.

or put the tape into a drive attcahed to a different BE server and try to inventory, catalog and restore
