We (rsync.net) are happy to ship you a bare SATA drive with any or all of your account on it. It's a standard part of our offering and we do it all the time[1].
No funny business - just our actual cost for the drive + our actual fedex costs + $150.
So that's one option.
The second thing that comes to mind is that, as you already know, any tool that runs over SSH/SFTP will connect to your rsync.net account. So, in a pinch, you could just use our drive mapper (or filezilla or WinSCP or sshfs on Mac or whatever) and let the client poke along at WAN speeds for a day or three.
Finally, I disagree with some of the comments that suggest this is overkill or unnecessary - I think it's a decent line of thought - but why not just add a line item to your clients' bill for "local DR service" and just dump the rsync.net account back to yourself on any old drive that you control and if there is indeed a catastrophe you just drive it over there ?
Happy to discuss this further over email, etc.
