What I'm suggesting is that you have two complete servers, each backing 
up both locations, and probably nightly instead of weekly if you have 
the usual amount of idle time at night.  Assuming that it works (which 
will depend on the size of the daily incremental change) you'll have a 
system that takes care of itself without intervention, covers the 
disaster scenario with less data lost, and you'll also cover the even 
more likely problems where someone accidentally erases a file and wants 
it back the next morning.
