I'm not too keen on the restriction that clustering is in-memory only
I agree with this. You also need a minimum 3 servers to have a true cluster so it becomes incredibly expensive because you need mountains of RAM in each server.
But if you are just looking for data security/back-up etc rather than load balancing and true redundancy then MySQL replication is trivially simple. We use it to keep a virtually live replica of our production databases on a local server. You can actually do some form of load balancing with replication by distributing SELECT statements between slaves, but limiting UPDATE statements to the master.
