Basingstoke, 1st March 2010: Reports that staff data spanning more than five years at the Arkansas National Guard have gone missing on a back-up drive highlights the need for encrypted backups to be taken on live data - and also strengthen the argument that live data should also be encrypted, says Origin Storage.   "The archival drive reportedly contains the names, addresses and social security number details of at least 15,000 current and former members of staff as at March 2009, and spans back to the start of 2004," said Andy Cordial, managing director of the storage system integration specialist.   "Whilst some experts claim that encrypting live data is overkill in some situations, the fact that was an archival disk, and almost certainly only accessed if the computer's primary drive went down, means that high levels of encryption should have been applied," he added.
