IMO it's a bootable DVD with the configured base system and then they
can recover their data that they are backing up daily to the tape
drive.

I have a number of small OpenSuSE 10.3 Samba File Servers.
They have commercial software that does a good job of backing up. but, like most, not such a good job of restoring.
Especially if you need to do a bare metal recovery.
On some of these systems I keep an identical drive already set up so that if needed I can plug it in and do a data only restore.
I don't use or believe that strongly in mirroring or duplexing so I don't want to go there.
Question is: What are the easiest/best solutions for Disaster Recovery...?
One that a "Shop Owner" could perform with a little help.
These Servers don't have any "IT" people on staff, but I'd like them to be as in dependant as possible in a crisis. I'm open to both built in tools (dump/restore rsync, etc.), although I'm not that familiar with them, and commercial..
All these systems have DVD Writers and the Backup is to DDS-4 DAT Drives
