The games must continue

Servers do sometimes crash and burn. In which case all the games at SIFAR would die an early dead. To ensure the games can resume after such an event all game data is automatically mailed to a gmail account after each run of a turn. Currently a gmail account gives you 3 Gigs of diskspace so there is room for plenty of turn data.

Have you considered including the "mail backup of data" script in the server code?

Yup. It's part of the run_game script. This will in 6.4.9.
