Also:
    4) zero-level is nice for restoring a system, but not application data;
       making up-to-date backups easy to collect makes it *useful*

    5) ADSM facilitates off-site backup for disaster situations; the backup
       media is NOT going to be stored 5 feet from the Sun server it came from.

    6) ADSM reduces labor costs, without requiring acquisition of jukebox
       or optical devices.

    7) ADSM permits enterprise-wide audit and management oversight to ensure
       implementation of backup policies.
