I had the pleasure of attending Jon Toigo's seminar on Disaster Recovery Planning put on by Techtarget / Storage Decisions when they rolled into Boston. I would definitely recommend you check it out next time they put one on near you. I've been reading his blog over the last year and found him quite entertaining in person.
Jon's presentation style is a bit confrontational when it comes to storage vendors, but valueable nonetheless. His emphasis on being able to roll your own solutions for just about everything was a bit offputting to a lot of people but I don't think the point was that you SHOULD roll your own on every solution but that you CAN, so think about where you want to spend the effort and where you want to spend your money. Small budget strapped shops need not spend a fortune to get the same value if you can spare the elbow grease.
In this dramatically sinking economy nobody wants to spend money they don't have to. The good news is with proper planning and evaluation you don't need to spend a fortune to create the safety net you need to keep your business from suffering a catastrophic loss during a timeframe when even once strong businesses are expected to be picked off one by one.
