Last week I opened my newspaper (yes, I still read the news on paper) to see a report of, once again, a major data breach caused by a batch of backup tapes being lost in transit to the warehouse. At the very least, I had hoped that the system administrators at large organizations that hold the most personal of all information would have gotten the word to encrypt their backup tapes, but this piece of news and the results of our InformationWeek Analytics Backup Survey have proven me wrong.
