At the FSF, we do nightly backups to a physical machine we run with all
free software including the bios, and monthly backups to tape that are
manually stored offline in a separate location for disaster recovery. I
bet we have plenty of storage room to backup sourcware's data too (how
much are we talking?). I presume it would make sense to allow the
sourceware servers to write and read backups, but not delete them
without a human being involved.

Note: I think the right term is "live system" instead of "life system".
