If you're doing something rsync-like, and if your buildings are close,
you could simply move the backup server to the primary server's
location, reconfigure the network interface, and drop it in as a
replacement for the dead fileserver. That might be safer than risking
a previously-mentioned fumblefingers.
In that case, you might want a backup of the backup machine, so that if
you deploy the backup in this way, it doesn't become a single point of
failure. This might be more of a hassle than you want to deal with.
