I guess it would depend on the size of the database. If you had your drives mirrored, and every two hours, broke the mirror, and created a differential backup of of the mirror on another system (ex. rdiff-backup).
This would create a duplicate system based on the mirror, as long as your drives could update the mirror quick enough when reconnected within the two hours before it will be broken again. rdiff-backup will work locally on a LAN, or through the internet to create an offsite duplicate server for disaster protection.
