Ever thought of backing up via normal methods (ie tape or other media) and then shipping them off site. You might even be able to use a storage facility locally and have a second server there. This way you could drop off backups as often as you need and if your server gets hit then you have a backup. It would all depend on how important the data is versus the time it would take to recover it.

I thought it was hilarious. Nice break for middle of the week.
I have seen some Open Source companies offer Bounties for features they want for their software. These are usually items that they do not have time or resouces to handle. They list the items and attach a dollar value for each one. This is open to anyone with the skills. You can google Software Bounty or start here http://www.opensourcexperts.com/bountylist.html . Slashdot covered this before and there are more links here http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/0 5/10/1915229&tid=156&tid=185&tid=131&tid=154&tid=4 &tid=106
