Various embodiments for encryption enablement in a computing storage environment, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises managing each step of an encryption key creation process for a computer storage system using an automated wizard by interactively sensing inserted access key hardware and providing a real-time progress and error report of the encryption key creation process.

Encryption generation for multiple inserted devices with graphical user interface interaction

For efficient authorization settings in a computing environment, user access permissions are created or modified by mapping, granting, and/or limiting access to resources by resource type, and using checkboxes for controlling user access for individual resources and for mapping one of a multiplicity of icons to control a type of user access and control over the individual resources.

Efficient modification and creation of authorization settings for user accounts

A command to write data to a disk location is received at a disk storage system. The data is written to the disk location and a record including the data, the disk location, and a sequence value is generated. The first sequence value indicates relative sequence when compared to other sequence values. The record is written to a record location on a tape cartridge loaded in a tape drive. Record metadata on the disk storage system is modified to indicate that the record location contains current data. Tape cartridges containing records may be used to restore data to disk storage.
