Rebuild/upgrade on the redundant drive in a chroot
Rebuild elsewhere (local to you) on similar hardware and copy OS over.
I suspect though, that building a new system, getting it working and
shipping it as a black box would be the most low risk/effective
strategy.

Hint:
Setup grub to boot either os so local support only has to select which
disk to boot from if there is a failure.
