Tim, You may want to approach the problem from the opposite direction. Consider your recovery needs and available options and work from there to determine what product/technology/processes meets your objectives.
Trying to recover a few TB of data within a couple of hours is nearly impossible unless you use snapshot or mirroring. However the snapshots only protect you from a subset of problems. Mirroring data similarly allows quick recovery but also has its limits on protection. You will probably want to consider how several data protection methods (i.e. snapshot/mirror/backup and archive) can be integrated together to provide a cost effective, environment for protecting your data and ensuring business needs are achieved.
