Encryption is managed by the host with a set of SCSI commands. If your backup application supports managing tape drive hardware encryption, you should refer the documentation of the application for that.

If the host is linux, the stenc program can be used for encryption management. https://github.com/scsitape/stenc

A few points,

1. Please use the latest release

2. Encryption automatically disables deduplication. It's more beneficial therefore to use tapes from a non-dedupe storage pool.
