I believe Corvus had such a product (called Mirror ?) for backing up its
hard disks.  A long, long time ago (back in the days of Lisa development),
some people on the Lisa project used this for archiving files.  I don't know
how well it worked, since that was before my time, but it did exist.  

During one of our moves, we discovered a box of tapes with peoples names on
them.  We thought they might have been secret confessions or job interviews,
but they turned out to be archived disks.
