I worked at HBO in the '90s. They (used to?) broadcast from Hauppauge, NY. They had multiple backup systems, but at the end of those systems there was a final backup. If all else failed, there was a classic Betamax tape deck, with a cassette in it -- press play and hit a switch, and that was HBO. It's weird there doesn't seem to be something like that for serving web pages.
