Do you have to be in Christchurch now, or does it count if I abandoned Christchurch February 22nd? ;)

A fairly common offering among the cloud-backup-providers I’ve dealt with is a backup which they can, on request, bring up on a VM. Fully running live cloud backup (which seems to be called ‘cloud replication’ by many) tends to be more expensive than the on-request-VM.
This provides similar functionality with a slight lag – we tended to be talking about having the VM of your backup up and running within an hour, though the exact time frame will depend on your chosen vendor.
If you’re slightly more DIY oriented you could achieve exactly this with your preferred cloud-compute-provider to provision both a backup and subsequent VM.

Slightly more involved. But, particularly if the source is already a VM, it’s a well tested procedure and based on well established technology, so the backup-to-VM step is fairly robust.

I would venture that such a backup-into-VM approach would be perfectly adequate for most.
