To create a duplicate machine, use Mondo Rescue http://www.mondorescue.org, be sure to bring the second machine up on a separate network or standalone hub as it will be IDENTICAL to the first and therefore have the same IP.  Once up, change the IP and machine name (maybe) and connect to the main network.  Then setup replication between your databases to keep the backup current.  You can repeat this process periodically to be sure the backup machine has all the same updates as the master.  Remember to test the backup machine periodically to be sure you have a working system.
