So, for example, I need to give my Exchange admins access to all my
other backups?!?!  That's ridiculous!   Someone PLEASE tell me I'm
misunderstanding this thread.

If you run a separate data zone for each customer base, then as long as
they each trust each 
other it is no more dangerous than they all being administrators on
those systems.  However, if 
you run a single data zone that contains separate customer bases -- Yep,
big security risk.
