[BCMA] Museum Backup to the Cloud?

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello all,

Having just undertaken a massive migration of data from old computers to shiny new units, our IT specialist has strongly recommended that we consider backing up our digital files to the cloud. Currently, we are manually moving external hard drives off-site for back-up, which made him gasp in horror. 
Just wondering if there are any organizations out there currently using cloud-backup for their data? If so, how have you approached security concerns for sensitive information? 

Thanks in advance!
