Why wouldn't they just use a ZFS system with replication to remote servers and a snapshot system in place? I run a snapshot every 5 minutes during working hours, and those snapshots have a 48-hour life. I do hourly snapshots that live for two weeks. Finally, I do nightly snapshots that live for 12 months. Accidentally fucked up your spreadsheet after two weeks of work? No problem. Right click that bitch and choose previous versions to restore from 5 minutes ago.
Because of the way ZFS works, there's no thrashing of disks or IO activity when snapshots run. Since they're at the sector level they don't even take up any disk space except for the actual sectors that change after the snapshot.

How are you doing that part with zrs? Thanks
Sanoid and syncoid are awesome if you aren't using them.
