Some of ideas come to mind.
1. Change the prompt to somehow remind them it's production (like making the hostname bold/red/reverse) How to make custom prompts

2. There could also be a molly-guard for restoring, or copying, etc. So a wrapper script for the worried commands. Say your backup software uses the command "recover", put a script in a directory earlier in the path that will look similar to (meaning I haven't tested this):
Code:
is-production=`hostname|egrep production1|production2|production3`
if [ $is-producation ]
     echo "this is production, what were you thinking?"
else
     $@
fi;
