Backup Agents

["Geo." <georger () NLS NET>]

Has anyone ever studied how secure backup agents are in the context of using
them on web servers? Seems to me a backup agent is designed to get
information (all information) out of a system, so I was wondering if anyone
had ever researched how secure the connection between a backup server and a
machine running a backup agent is. How hard it would be to exploit the
backup agent and that sort of thing.
