The files are encrypted. They also don't contain passwords or user ID info or related security points. Somebody could break into my house, steal my accounting computer and have a much easier time getting to the heart of my finances...and then get terribly depressed once he saw what kind of shape I was in. ;0)
On the whole, I'm more concerned about the house burning down and the loss of key data than I am worried about somebody figuring that it would be worth it to somehow break into a remote, secure server, steal my encrypted files and then figure out how to crack them. When thieves go after a big corporation, they focus on credit card info and identity data that could be put to work right away.
If someone figured out how to steal my files from a backup service, I guess he could get my routing and checking account numbers, but I leave those all around the county, anyway, every time I write a check. Credit card info gets spread around like that, too, plus all a waiter has to do is look on the back of my card and steal that 3-digit security code that's now required for on-line purchases..
When I come into the office in the morning and see the backup message -- how many files were securely backed up the night before -- I can start the day knowing that my QB and data bases are secure up to that point.
