If you have a cold backup server I believe it is free, but you do need to get another license and sign an agreement.
What we do is, we have Universe installed and licensed on the DR machine but not running. We use rsync to copy the data files from production to dr on a regular cycle. When production goes down we start up the DR machine and carry on. Of course this solution is not completely failsafe, as the application does not use transactions so it is possible that partial transactions may be committed to dr depending on timing etc, so it may not suit everyone, but it is enough for our needs.
