We are a small operation, but use RDCatch to schedule a daily backup of the database, then copy that to the /var/snd/ drive. Once a week, the /var/snd drive gets rsync'd to one of 2 alternating backup drives. A check of the rsync error log tells us if there were any problems. This way, both the database and all audio are backed up in a simple manner. This method has worked for us in the rare times of trouble.
