Why haven't you CoLo'd a set of backup servers? Doesn't cost much to have a rack on a backbone, .. you can even shop for one in a different part of the country/world.

Because, with the type of colocation we require, it DOES cost much. We can't stick our servers on a simple rack, we have to have cage space, and that costs more than a little. We store medical data, and HIPAA compliance (if you've ever heard of that?) is a bitch, to put it simply. What's worse is that many medical organizations misunderstand it, and put even more stringent practices that must be adhered to.
