I will have my data backed up nice and snug on the backup service host. But since I cannot remember a 4096bit PGP private key pair, I would be in a bit of a bind.

Get a fireproof box and put some copies of the private key in it. Get multiple boxes and put them in different locations, but redundancy and security are a trade-off. I think the only thing that will get me and all my backups is a meteor taking out the UK, but at that point, I've got bigger worries. Most stuff I can rebuild, stronger than before.
Well, in the event of mereorite or nuclear war wiping out the UK, unless you're not in the UK at the time, I don't think you'll have many worries at all ;)
