Hey Jason,

Is there no possibility of a second machine and replication? This and a mechanism for dealing with failure could mean that a failure of a master db
would be (close to) transparent.

Additionally, are they rebuilding from the binlog files or some other sort of backup? Do they keep copies of the binlog files?

Cheers,
BDKR
