I work for a small company that produces medical billing software. Other than producing software, we also use our software internally. My First suggestion would be to start simple backup us often as possible until you can figure out the problem. Don't be cheap on your backup software. If you believe that the above scenario is likely to happen to you, then continue your search. I doubt that it will happen, unless you have old equipment and software.

The best but expensive solution is servers clustering. Read detail about this technologies:

(remove any spaces)
Other possibilities:
-backups
-disk mirroring (hot disks)
-scheduled tasks for copy files with additional software or not.
But all this solution don?t allow you to switch between servers with the database online or in the same state (you will lose the last "n" records).
