True. "Crashing" your environment is a good idea. You don't really crash it, just take it off line to see what your redundent systems will do.
For real disaster recovery you should have boxes off site. All the extra hardware in the world won't help if it's all in the same spot that had a fire, got flooded, etc....
At minimum you should do a scheduled tape rotation and always keep one set off site.
