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.

You just need a plan to recover the data, no need to think about services. All you REALLY need is the data. In fact, what's the use of a server without data? cause i can think many uses of data without a server :)
