I'm not normally in the habit of spruiking our own products, but if you 
need data/document snapshotting and revisioning, so that you can recover 
any version of any document, dating back months or years:

If you need server replication, so that if your primary server fails you
can fail-over to a new server, one possibly stored off-site for disaster
recover purposes, then try this:

 http://www.cybersource.com.au/product/replicator/

Both of these products ship as hardware appliances and can support 
hundreds of users. Both cost under $2k, installed.

Hope this at least gives you an idea of what you should be able to get 
for AU$2k.
