As Gandalf said, there's virtually nothing a PBEM server can do that a network server can't. Personally, I prefer networked for ease of playing turns. I don't like to click and copy and move around stuff every time I download or upload a turn. Others might perceive it differently.

I created a
PHP script for that. Others have come up with similar solutions. Including llama for his PBEM server.

A reasonable server admin generates backups of all the turns, I do that at least. Rollbacks are always possible then. If you talk about the user side, then yes, you'd need to take care about that yourself. I'm not sure if I'd consider binary attachments in my email inbox a good turn backup solution over backups on my file system.

*Points to my PHP script again...* It already does this.
