You could "almost" do things this way.  Unfortunately, you'll have to
occasionally wipe the "mirror" systems.

If I restored a full to the "mirror" machine, followed by a differential,
followed by any number of incremental backups, there's almost a 100% chance
that files which were deleted since a previous backup will now be present
on your "mirror" machine.  Since a restore from backup won't wipe out files
on the system which aren't on the backup, you'll always have some
percentage of "cruft" on the "mirror" system which should not be there.  If
these day-to-day work files are not a concern, and won't interfere too
much, and the "mirror" system works, but isn't perfect, this solution is
better than having nothing, and would have you up and running quicker than
doing a BMR after the incident.
