Doesn't that just move the problem to managing NFS or batch jobs?  Do we
want to encourage that?

I suspect that there are actually only about 5 or 6 common ways to do
archiving (say, local, NFS, scp, rsync, S3, ...).  There's no reason why
we can't fully specify and/or script what to do in each of these cases.
