free off-site whole system backup solution
In the event of a disaster, I would want to be able to recover the system whether it is a new hard drive on the same computer, or pull files to a new computer entirely.
Does anything like this exist today for free?

Question - how much will it cost the business (or you personally) if the system fails and you don't have a backup? How bad will it make you look if the system fails and the backup you implemented is "half-@ssed" because you didn't want to spend anything on licensing?
While there are exceptions, as a general rule, the LESS you spend on a solution, the more complicated and less user friendly it is - if it even exists. This means you may not spend much in licensing, but isn't your TIME worth something?
If there was a really good solution it would be well known by now. Do you really want to TRUST your backups to a poorly known solution, if it even exists? Seems HORRIBLY unwise to me if you think about it.
