This indeed is a very common situation; T1 with DSL backup or SDSL with cable backup, NAT+RFC1918, just change the default route in the router and change the DNS (with 15 min TTL) to point to the new IP. Being crippled one hour instead of dead for days (I just had a TransEdge customer that was down for 6+ days) is a good proposition for lots of businesses and the $80/mo for backup DSL are a no brainer.
