The perennial debate with the security group.

Peter: Write the password down.

Security: That compromises security.

Peter: Backups do not compromise security, they enhance security.

Security: It's an exposure to record the password.

Peter: It's an exposure to lose the data.

etc., etc., etc.

"What happens if data is corrupted or lost due to a disk failure": I will restore it from backup.

Enough said.
