Dave,

I don't know if this'll work in your situation, but it works great for us.
We've got a second drive in our FBSD box that gets cloned/updated with
dump(8) on a regular basis.  If we lose the primary drive, we can boot off
the backup drive and go.  We've also got our drives in removable sleds, so
if the machine itself goes kaput, we pop the drive in another box.  All of
this is, of course, on-site, so we have to make a tape for off-site
backup, but less frequently.
