Some people run a backup partition on the same system. This is more for High Availability than Disaster Recovery. Allows you to do backups on your target system without interrupting processing on the live partition. Also, you can apply PTF's, OS upgrades, etc.
But for DR you really need a separate system.
Factors in this decision include cost of two systems, two system replication software price, size(s) of systems, recovery time objective, etc. If you can afford to wait until you restore your data on a new system it may be ok.

Subject: Question on Backup Systems running on same hardware as Production
I've been curious about this for a while.
Do shop run Backup partitions on the same system has production, but just a different partition?
If so, how does that work in a system failure?
