An alternative to BMR

You can use hardware mirroring for the operating system, and
the Tivoli Client. keep the data on a separate disk controller.
Periodically, remove one the mirrored drives and store it offsite,
Replace it with another drive and allow the mirror to rebuild.
As long as you have like hardware in house, you can recall the
extra drive from offsite and put it into a new server, and boot up
with it. You should be able to run the tivoli client while the new
mirror is rebuilding, and start restoring the data drives.

There are? Are these shared anywhere besides the recently discussed red
piece/book? Any help would obviously be appreciated.
