Hi,
I assume if I save data from one IBM i and restore it to another there is
no issue with reading the restored data.

Are there any options to turn on that encrypts storage by system serial
number or something similar?

I imagine there being two levels of encryptoin,
1) system level - being transparent unless the data is move to another
system
2) application level - where DSPPFM would show only encrypted data, forcing
me to read it with the app / feature / SQL function it was written with.

And do you have any IBM or redbook link on this topic?
