You might try dumping the activity log for a period of time and show the size of that log piece, and then explain the amount of data the network can move in the same period. For added convincing tell them how much data the server can back up in that period of time. To drive the point home track the CPU usage of the server while you dump the log so you can show CPU load, if you can spot it...
Good luck, and use primary colors.

Explaining network load is negligible is simple, but a non-technical person would like assurance that 'dsmadmc -console' wont hurt server performance. Thanks, Matt. -- Matthew Warren.
