John,
You're partially right. My point of view is that in comparison with
having nothing to protect the backups, it's better to have a vault.
At least, the backups are not going to be destroyed (we hope
this!!). Of course, to get them after an event depends on your RTO.
We can say that is a cheap solution. But it's better than nothing.
Sometimes the authorities allow you to get something for a short
time; it'd be your chance to get back your backups.

Thanks!!

an earthquake or other pavement-crumbling event - happens, how are
you going to get to the site even if the facility housing the back
up media is still standing? A fire or gas leak - even in a
neighboring straucture - could prevent access to the back up media -
the fire brigade typically cordons off an area and prevents non-
emergency personnel's access. The media could very well be OK, but
it still can be inaccessible.
