As you may know, I am somewhat of an expert in the area of disaster recovery.

We have had consistently good luck with IBM BRS as a vendor in this area, 
and spotty results with other vendors.

Although IBM appears at first blush to be the more expensive vendor, the 
nuisance charges imposed by other vendors out weigh this.  Also IBM has 
access to literally an unlimited amount of equipment, and will do things 
like proactively shipping additional equipment into an area where a 
disaster is about to occur (e.g.:  when a hurricane is predicted).

If you have other questions, please call.
