Me, hosting my own mailserver: "Neat"
Same. But also, I'll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.
Once I rescued all my mails with an offline Thunderbird install.
Oh, yeah. Wasn't actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.
Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my server provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. "Thank you for your request! We'll email you the link to your KVM access!" Gahhh.
They will still have 99.9% availability with no maintenance windows.
