I generally will do one of two things in addition to my normal backups.
1. run a cron that exports the database, then gzip it - I rsync that off to another machine. 2. I replicate the database to other machines in the same tier.
I agree about the CF failure as well. No biggie. I would copy it's partition somewhere else once a week for a potential restore of just such a failure.

if the CF fails, it won't boot. if the HD fails, you've lost your database. not sure what the gain is here.

CF Fails, i can re inject it into a new CF card and away I go. yes if the HD fails ive lost the database, but its a monitoring box, toss a new one in , reboot the box and away we go.
