When I was DCM for Yahoo/LHC it was decided that backing up the search 
indexes in London was pointless.  It was far quicker to recreate them, 
plus any backup would most likely be too stale.  Fast.no (half of which 
was bought out by Yahoo) produced some great corporate t-shirts one of 
which had printed on the back "Search is like sushi: fresh is best".
