On-site backups aren't much of a backup. There are companies who will store your offsite backups securely ... or so they say. I suspect that's secure from all but the Government anyway but one hopes they require a warrant first. But if the tapes get lost in transit and aren't encrypted ... happens more often than they'd like to admit ... you may have a PCI / HIPAA / other personal data rights law issue, though, as anyone whose personal data was on the lost tapes is probably entitled to notice. So yes, backups that aren't encrypted may be a problem EVEN IF NO ONE WANTS YOUR DATA. Darn, I'm agreeing with R.P. again ... -- Bill Ricker bill.n1vux at gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux
