We check all the files in and out with svn. On top of that, I keep a 
CentOS server CD load running as a virtual machine on VMware.

In case the live box goes down, I can simply svn checkout the latest and 
greatest set of configurations, and start the Nagios service. You're 
back up and running in the amount of time it takes you to type the svn 
command, and service nagios start.

It's not perfect, but I just had to go forth and use it a few weeks ago 
when my Nagios host died. The network was not being monitored for maybe 
10 minutes tops.
