And even then it's not really "protected". /Maybe/ it's more protected, but man, there are a million links in the chain, gang! If you want to be really secure, you lock the hard-drive (just the hard drive, no network) in a fire/water "proof" safe, with a good alarm system, somewhere secret, within one of those cages that protect from electro/ magnetic stuff. And you know that you're /still/ not "secure" or 100% "proof" protected. I can see it now... Joe Blow says "hey, they're on different boxes, we're good to go!", which just ain't the case. If it's connected (electronically, physically), it's vulnerable. And the only way to disconnect, is to cease to exist. All copies, all memory-- everything. And even then, you're still vulnerable to time bandits... Um... e-yeah.
