Hi Joey,

I am also in need of the `encryption=credsonly` option for the LTO tape special remote on which I am currently working.
LTO tape drives provide hardware-based AES encryption which I would like to use. However, to enable this HW-accellerated encryption, I need to initialize the tape drive with an appropriate key, which I would like to store in the annex using credentials.
