Hello,

I have set up a HPE 1/8 G2 Autoloader Ultrium 7 library with PBS 2.0-12 and I am able to get backup jobs to complete without encryption enabled, but as soon as I enable encryption on the autoloader, I get "TASK ERROR: decode data encryption caps page failed - drive does not support AES-CGM encryption" when i try to do a label-media or backup job. I assume this is a typo, and it is supposed to say AES-GCM, however that does not fix my problem. I have tried a number of things but nothing has changed it. I am confused as to how the pool encryption works and the documentation has helped but I don't think I fully understand how it works. I currently use this exact drive with Veeam B&R and it works perfectly so i know the drive itself works and its built in encryption works, I just need to figure out how to get it to work in PBS as we want to move to PVE and PBS and away from ESXi and Veeam.

Code:
root@pbs:~# proxmox-tape status --drive Ultruim7
