We use Clonebox plus a separately made off line backup, for example, because we want to still be around in 20 years, even after some serious bullshit happens. Some BS like the OP throwing one of my drives to the datacenter floor. ;)
I had a contract employee try to change out one of the CPUs in a $4000 Clonebox server without powering it down first. In theory, that server is capable of hot swapping PCI cards, but you don't friggin hotswap a CPU.
