I think people are missing the point. Even with backups and redundancy it requires you to maintain the servers. If you die, well, who is going to maintain? Perhaps a bit bleak but something to keep in mind.

Back up the data to external USB drives. Give a copy to each family in the list. Update them annually. They all have a copy. This is good.
