I have done the experiment with sequential disk files.  The data is as
readable as it was on the original disk file.  If you want security,
encryption is mandatory.

Yes, indeed.  If those were TSM backup tapes, how much concern would it
be?
We know that without the TSM server, it would be impossible to identify
what files were on the tapes.  But would it still be possible to dump the
tape and recognize name and SSN data?  How difficult (or trivial) would it
be to dump a TSM tape in raw format and identify sensitive information?
This would be an interesting experiment, I think...
