Losing a day's or even an hour's data entry is not an option.
If you have that kind of requirements (less than an hour lost data), then you are not looking for just backup/archive. You are looking for a fully redundant storage system.
In addition to the backup system, of course.
For reading, check up on backupentral.com, Symantec.com (Backup Exec/Netbackup) emc.com (Avamar, networker).
I once managed a Filemaker database server (v5), and it has a built in featuer to copy the database files for backup. Real simple. Cannot remember if the database had to be taken offline, as we had users only during normal working hours, but these days that should NOT be a requirement.
