The OP asked about DR sites.  No one is going to remove any hard FBA  or old 
SLED disks from any controllers and take them away to someone with the  proper 
equipment to read data written before it was erased.  There is no  way that 
user (N+1) of a DR site can read user (N)'s data if user N erases it  all by 
using whole track format write chains before leaving the DR site.   But the 
magnetized molecules are there nevertheless for someone with enough  authority 
to 
remove the disks and enough $$ to pay to have an expert decipher  them.  
Corporate espionage normally does not allow for either of these two  
requirements, 
nor does corporate security normally require protection against  these 
possibilities.
