If you are using Box Backup within your organisation, and therefore 
implicitly trust the server, what's to stop you from uploading the 
client's key to the server, doing a restore locally on the server, and 
then writing the DVD of the unencrypted files?

I'm not trying to stop you from writing a useful utility, but just 
wanted to make sure it's absolutely necessary.
