One consideration with MML if this is a case of a tornado wiped out the data center: The MML is dependent on its media index(es); which (if I understanding the operation of the MML correctly) is dependent on the sys admins being able to restore the non-Oracle part of the box. So, in a case of it hit the fan so hard the blades broke off (either that or a root user was experimenting with rm -rf * ("Where did it go?!")), it seems to me that you have a dependency on the reliability of your sys admins.

I thought I would toss that in just in case you were feeling an uncontrollable urge to go breathe down somebody's neck.
