Ive been with ISPs that went the extreme route on stability and it generally wasnt worth it. Id rather have script routines to zip individual directorys and copy them to other machines. Whenever equipment fails you might as well reconsider, purchase upgrades, rebuild the site with some of what was there and upgrade others. The cost and extra security headaches to get instant recovery or invisible crashes never seemed worth it to me for most sites.
We do a SQL based web app that 600 user have to have, or no business gets done. So we are up during business hours, 98% 14/6 Last phys. year and it would have been 100% if Verizon would get their ducks all in a row. We were 100% on the LAN, but the WAN had some outages do to dead lines. Servers were 100% even during Version upgrades.

Ive worked for people who achieved such numbers also. I just didnt think it was worth the cost and effort.

We had to do the same thing for att.com when I worked at AT&T. The funniest thing is being oncall and then the Super Bowl ad comes on.

"Countdown 5,4,3,2,1"

"Switchover to Server 2"

"Switchover to Server 3"

etc, via pager. You could set your watch to it .
