As for high-availability you need some budget or calculate certain risks like downtime.

You can make an investment in additional mac mini's where one fails another one can take it's place as far as hardware redudancy goes.

External software clones will limit downtime, but it comes down to budget and what you find an acceptable downtime.

This is pretty interesting as well:
