Multiple DC does not protect against:
1. Admin mistakes. It gets replicated.
2. Directory corruption. It gets replicated.
3. Newly installed program metabase changes. It gets replicated.
4. Etc. It gets replicated.
There is a big difference between redundancy and backup. They two entirely
different processes for entirely different reasons, but do have some similar
purposes.
