Something, perhaps, like the total amount of data being backed up!

Processor cores?  How in the world does that relate to anything in the
backup/restore space?

But let's not get started down that path for, what, the fifth or sixth
time?

It absolutely should!
Here is a major technology company, telling its customers to go conduct
a manual audit of hundreds of client systems throughout every customer
establishment, as though it's 1975 again.  For a company doing things
like Autonomic Computing, this is a *major* failure in technology
deployment, for which IBM should be dragged over the coals by the
management of the victim customer sites being subjected to this
astounding nonsense.
