Devils Advocate: Question: Why would I put corporate data in someone else's datacenter ( cloud) without a strong security SLA, the right to audit, and assurances of the CIA ( confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) of the data to only my users. Plus if you are under compliance mandates ( PCI, HIPAA, SOX) then the cloud in its current state isn't going to fly for some of these regulations. ( But the Cloud Security Alliance and others are working on this aspect at the current time)
Just because it's a backup-recovery, it is your data and I am sure a lot of it is private or company confidential, and if those backups aren't encrypted ( Confidentiality) and there is no SLA or Security SLA, then you might be SOL when you need those backups the most.
