Recently our web-server crashed and we had to recover everything from a backup which took the whole day(totally unacceptable in our business).

So my question is, how can I create a complete mirror of the server that I can use (switch dns to) in case the same disaster happens in the future?

Our main server is on Amazon with Windows 2008/IIS + Postgresql 9.1. I was thinking on creating the same server on a different location as a complete mirror with the database replication. But I'm not sure how to implement IIS instance mirroring over the internet...
