Re: Hugh's post
"If the higher security encryption keys slows down the system more (50%
estimated) than less secure keys, how much speed do we want to trade
off for security?"
time and money... probably one reason some use two (or more) tier storage,
so you have more hours to get the backup prepared, encrypted, and onto
tape.
"If the encryption key is stored on the system and the system is down
how do we access the key?"
obviously, you have to be able to access the keys and other
equipment/materials it takes to restore the backups
"If password protected files are stored on transferable, portable media,
don't we have the same risk as losing a lap top?"
If they are encrypted and the key is not lost with the media, then the
risk just dropped down near zero.
"Encryption slows back up, if we face a disaster such as a storm or
hurricane, won't slowing down the back up create more risk?"
If you don't back up until a hurricane bears down on you, then you deserve
what you get!
"If we are in disaster recovery, won't the slowness of the system create
recovery problems?"
You expect to do this how often? If it takes an extra 6 hours to get the
data transferred, what is the business impact?

This is just a test... if this was an actual sig, you would have been
mildly amused...
