Key steps to HA involve redundant generators, good fuel supply plan, high availability and very intensive HVAC solutions, that kind of stuff. Your plant is 10 fold as important as your gear.
^^^ These are the very reasons we decided to colo some systems. It was far more cost effective for us, and we got a whole 8x8 cage, so I have a table and chairs, monitor/kbd/mouse onsite. Like an office away from work.
For when you just need to "get away"?

I like going over there. 25 minute drive, great places for lunch nearby (especially if you like Asian food), and yes, it gets me away from my cube of the same size where people can bug me. When I go to the colo, I basically get paid for an extra hour, even if I finish up quickly.

Even though we couldn't possibly push a full month's backup (~24TB [this would comprise 4 weeks of full backups]) offsite it might be viable for the incremental backups. Which is what I now need to look into, and our weekly delta is low enough that we need to weigh the options of taking tapes / disks home weekly with the cost to restore from an online storage provider.
You can't keep incrementals offsite without the fulls. Incrementals only are useful with fulls. The two are part of the same package.
