Many businesses out there are backing up their data onto tape, optical media or hard drive without first encrypting their data. Why? The simple fact is that encryption is not easy to setup and unless it is included with the backup product most businesses won't ever implement it.

The Ohio State Government had a huge security breach this September when a backup tape was stolen out of a state employee's car. This breach could have been avoided if the backup system employed encryption technology. Well, it is no longer September, so the Ohio government is now in the process of implementing encryption into their backup procedures. However, they had to suffer a huge security breach for them to realize the error.
