Yeah, Heikki - I wonder if you're missing the point. In our case, we don't bother with repository backups here. Everyone developer has a full copy of the repository, and any one of them could be used to create a new "central" git repository. If our central git repository goes down - we've got 9 others floating around on different laptops and computers. You can't beat that kind of redundancy. You'd have to nuke Utah to take us out (btw: please don't nuke Utah).
