And you will still need backups ;)
A long time ago I worked on a fault tolerant news server with dual alphaserver boxes and a shared disk array. A power system failure took out both the alpha boxes and the disk controllers and all the disks.
Fortunately it was a news server so you just had to wait a week ..
