In my case, "the software that the site uses" is backuppc. There is only 
one implementation. What I have asked for is a disaster recovery method 
for recovering backuppc servers. Holger has kindly promised to write / 
create a few scripts to do exactly that, when he has the time. I am 
hopeful that the scripts he creates will be integrated into backuppc - 
since I think it would be nice for backuppc to be able to backup other 
backuppc servers.
