EMC SRDF? Timefinder?

Hitachi TrueCopy? Universal Replicator?

StorageTek AVS?

DRBD?

and more, many more. All can be used locally (Sync mode) or remotely (Async, over IP links) for DR.

Besides, just put ZFS on your disks, and take regular snapshots, and you don't even have the overhead of copying the blocks.
