[AusNOG] Offsite Backup Recommendations

[Alex Samad]

What are peoples thoughts about the backups being "online", atleast with
tape backups, a malicious user would have to request all the tapes and then
process them one by one - or get some big magnet.

But with online backups, presumably you can do it all with a click of a
button, isn't that a bit of a worry ?
