   I started to say something along these lines, but since you only need   
   a database permission to run BACKUP, I found that idea to be dead in   
   the water. Of course, I don't know Chad's situation, but it is not   
   uncommon that you have people on a server that are db_owner in a database   
   and whom you don't trust to do things on server level.

   If you want to export data out of the house, using the tape station   
   which persumably physically quite well protected does not appear as   
   a good vehicle.
