My clients with a "backup system" are saving the important stuff to a save 
file, FTP it to the other box, and have the FTP program fire off a restore 
of the data. This happens each evening, so that in the AM, both systems 
have the same data. If the primary box fails during the day, the data that 
was entered onto it gets re-entered, and processes are re-run. It's a KISS 
principle solution.
