I have a client who wants us to do a backup scheme on a remote server 
to a dedicated (for the particular host) drive such that the backup 
drive could be installed in the backed-up host and booted as the 
original drive in the event of catastrophic failure of the original.

Is there a way to do that? I've looked at various backup schemes and 
devices and I don't see anything like that. There doesn't seem to be 
very much even for backing up to a drive rather than to a tape device.

Someone suggested 'mirroring' the drive, but I'm not sure what they
really meant or how that might be done.
