My question is purely and simply - what's the plan if he's abducted by aliens?
If something were arranged, such as the details of an alternative contact at the ISP in question (that could arrange access if the machine was switched off) were shared with at least two or three other ALUGers that would probably suffice.
The machine is actually owned by me and there are a bunch of people who would be much more inconvenienced by it being switched off than you lot - in the event of my ascension to our glorious alien overlords anyone with an @earth.li address should hopefully be able to point you at someone who can help. In particular various LUG members already know Simon Huggins and hang out on IRC channels with him, so I'd suggest that he's a good first port of call if I go AWOL and there's a problem.
Also I've setup a daily cron job to drop the Moin pages/ data directory into /backup/pages.tar.gz on the website (full URL deliberately not posted) which means anyone can take a backup. It's not a complete dump, but I think it covers all of the content without leaking things like email addresses or wiki passwords.
