Well, in terms of me having to go to far-off exotic places to take
them again, then yes it would cost thousands.

However, what's the chance that my house burns to the ground -
1 in 100?  1 in 1000?  I have to multiply the cost of replacement
by the chance to come up with a suitable cost for the backup.
