I have a cron job that emails me the results of nightly tarsnap runs. I noticed two failures, the first and only time tarsnap has ever failed for me.
And I was OK with it -- I knew Colin would be working to bring it up as soon as possible. I further knew that the envelope for minimal downtime was determined by Amazon, who were also working to repair matters as soon as possible.
Natural disasters happen. Somewhere in the world there is always an unprecedented disaster going on. Living with it is part of life in a strictly uncontrollable, unpredictable universe.
