A tape drive containing a jammed tape must be taken off-site to be repaired. Which of the following should be considered FIRST?

Downtime necessary to reinstall the repaired drive is a logistical concern, but secondary to the immediate security risk of transporting data off-site.

Since the tape drive contains a jammed tape, it implies that sensitive data is still within the device, making data security policies and procedures the paramount consideration before removing the data-carrying hardware from a secure location.

Potential cooling problems due to a missing drive are generally minor and can be mitigated, and they do not present the immediate data security risk posed by the jammed tape leaving the premises.

Redundant or replacement data backup solutions address future data protection, but the primary immediate concern is the security of the data currently trapped on the jammed tape leaving the site.
