I assume all these backups are file-wise or directory-wise.

What about binary image backups so that if you have a disk 
crash you can write the whole fs to a new disk and keep 
working?

I bring the machine down and do a dd every now and again. I 
do filewise backups of new data between binary backups. This 
is a bit of a pain, but is a guaranteed recovery. Is there 
anything better?
