If you want to maintain all the schedules that go with the correct node with the correct drive letters for his 75 nodes.... And when an admin adds a drive to a node without letting you know? Or removes one and now your schedules fail because D:\*.* doesn't exist? Whose fault does that end up being when they can't restore the data you said you were archiving for them?
And if your requirements are that you be able to BMR a box to a monthly state, archive is out of the question. I would sooner use archive, don't get me wrong, but there's just not a DOMAIN that you can specify to archive and have it pick up everything in that DOMAIN. Like backup. With changes when those pesky admins change things and don't communicate it back to you.
