Yes, exactly!
I've worked in medium sized companies where the backing up was handled by quite junior staff, and done daily, in the larger companies I've worked in it was handled in IT. I've never worked in that area, so I'm not sure if outside contractors would have similar access .. also it could be possible that information was backed up to a server not located in the same building because that could be possible and if so then that server would have to be held by another company and they'd have access.
Just the fact that the files are a smattering from a number of departments, and as mentioned in the article, many of the files would be time consuming to accumulate, yet are almost valueless, I'm really thinking that the breakdown in security has happened in the data backup.
