i don't know if it was a power supply or if it was the data center, but,
either case can be solved by: security1.debian.org in LA
and security2.debian.org in NYC and security3.debian.org in berlin :-)

backup is NOT the same as redundancy ...
redundancy allows the systems to keep working even if 1 or more servers

backup allows you to restore a dead/broken box with a new one with the
same contents .. in a few seconds or a few days .. depending on
the backup methodology
