>Does anyone have any recommendations for maintaining a duplicate site (ie in Europe or elsewhere) offline that can be rapidly switched on in such a case?

Rackspace can do this for you. But a simple power outage won't shut them down anyways.

Should Texas and Virginia be wiped out by a nuke I believe they could switch you to their London data center with relative ease. Only issue here is that in such an event I doubt too many people will be buying travel related products ;)

>No need for terrorists here ... we've managed to do to ourselves what they've been planning for a decade.

Come live in Florida.....during the summer power outages occur every day....look a black cloud, turn off the grid immediately just incase lightening strikes!

My home office has enough car batteries (UPS's) to power a Scandinavian country for a week....Makes the problems of living in the UK in '79 look like small fry!
