You have heard of rescue cds, I trust, and backups. Actual disk
corruption is extremely rare, these days, but if that were a concern you
could always put your server image on a seperate partition. The chances
of actually losing something are pretty minimal. Down time could be a
bit higher, especially as you tend to reboot fedora systems to install
new kernels or hal, etc.
