if you are doing tape backups on servers, do you encrypt the backup, or is it even an option for the backup software that you are using?

encryption adds a layer of security, but it also seems to add more risk that one might not be able to restore a file successfully from tape.

there seems to be pros/cons for both viewpoints.

ie. "backups exist to make data accessible, encryption exists to make data inaccessible"

thoughts?
