You don't need a backup MX.  IIRC, the default retry interval for every
*nix MTA in default configuration is _3-5 days_.  Do you foresee your
server being down more than 3-5 days at a time?  If not, you don't need
a backup MX.

I've been running a home vanity domain MX box for 8 years and never lost
a mail through two moves, one within the city lasting 8 hours, the other
between cities lasting almost 2 days.
