Make sure you have the secret key stored securely and you are able to recover that by another method, i.e. not from the tape you just encrypted it on to.
Don't laugh, but I've been on a recovery test where we had to connect back to the live servers to get the key. Not great seeing as we were pretending that we'd had an incident meaning all our live servers were dead.
backup is one thing, but making sure you can restore is quite another - and rather useful to prove.
