Hotsync backup may also be a solution for you to reduce disaster recovery time to nearly zero, maybe next to data backup:

NethServer Hotsync [Needs Testing]

HotSync is a set of scripts that leverage NethServer backup to copy a snapshot of a NethServer over another one every 15 minutes. In case of a disaster, it’s possible to promote slave to master in a few minutes. We call it “Poor men HA”. It was used few times in production for the enterprise, and AFAIK it works quite well. If you want to take a look at it, here you can find a draft of documentation, including new features that we’d like to implement. You can try current version installing it …
