The Admin guide talks about this.. but basically what we do is a daily
ADSM backup of the system, and a weekly backup onto 8mm by the OS.  If I
ever need to rebuild the machine, I can boot and install right from the
8mm, and get the exact environment back, then any changes that had
happened since the 8mm backup can be restored from ADSM.
