If he really got pissed off he could always pull the server's power cord out of the wall, and nobody could legally force him to put it back in. If it comes to that, and nobody has kept the data independently backed up at a physically separate site, then that's the end of it.

I keep a backups (though not always up-to-date) at my server in San Antonio, and my home machine in Sacramento.

I also keep (irregularly) periodic backups on my home machine here in L.A., both of the English and most of the active non-English wikis.
