Hi Shannon,

It is NOT the webmaster's responsibility to do daily backups! The server administrator should have a daily backup scheduled, ...

If you are concerned about 100% uptime, a better solution would setup multi-homed servers (i.e. host your site(s) on two or more servers, possibly geographically dispersed), where any changes are simultaneously written to all servers. That way, if one server fails nobody knows (except the admin folks), .. and you can always recover one from one of the 'clones'.
