I too have worked for a bank and also had to take the mandatory 2 weeks off (contiguous) despite not having access to financial transactions. That took some getting used to. I missed being able to take off several Monday's in a row.

We certainly had to back everything up to write-once medium and store encrypted copies in Iron Mountain. Outside of financial institutions, I get dirty looks when I suggest backing up data this way. It also protects against bad automation.
