there are lots of problems with unencrypted backups. first, they are seldom accessed, so it's unlikely you'll know they are missing. second, they are easily and undetectably copied. let's say an iron mtn employee went rogue, and decided to borrow and copy (then return) a single tape per day from random banking customers. what is the likelihood that this would be detected?
