Related question for you real IT people out there...

Anyone using online backup for business disaster recovery purposes? Long story short, it turns out that if our building flooded and our servers floated away, we'd have been hooped. Cause: stupid people who don't know how to do their soon-to-be-ended jobs.

My thought is that regular offsite full tape backups combined with incremental online backups to a reliable service provider (Amazon?) would be effective. But I don't know disaster & recovery planning very well.

I'd like to sound a little knowledgeable even though I'm not when I go have a freakout at our national IT leader later this week.
