There are so many ways to do this, I don't know where to start. But
generally speaking, your backup is the ideal candidate (whatever your backup
solution may be).

Further, you can recover a system by reading a deployment doc, installing
from backup, restoring an image, and so on. The questions that you need to
be asking before you implement or change your existing solution are:

1) How soon does the recovery have to take place?
2) How much money do you have to work with (which should be a function of
the value of the assets)?
