Only 6? In 1968, I saw a report that stated that the folks at installation code CAD could read 7 levels deep. The result was that to insure adequate safety, disks and tapes were not moved from a secure site to one that was not secure. Instead, the media were physically destroyed. Maybe the magnets in use today are not as strong as the ones in use back then. Another possibility is that the spooks want to be able to read the last bit of data written to your disks and tapes.
