Backups and a tested process to recover assuming you damage your server beyond repair is a good thing to have. It's unlikely, but you would look foolish not to have this sorted before you press the button.
You could always re-install, but then do you know all the packages and their configuration updates? You would have to re-create all the users, ssh keys, all sorts of things to communicate with other servers etc.
Not that I'm paranoid, but I'd prefer not to get the sack if I can take sensible steps first.

INTRO(8) BSD System Manager's Manual INTRO(8) NAME
intro -- introduction to system maintenance procedures and commands DESCRIPTION
This section contains information related to system operation and maintenance. It describes commands used to create new file systems (newfs(8)), verify the integrity of the file systems (fsck(8)), control disk usage (edquota(8)), maintain system backups (dump(8)), and recover files when disks die an untimely death (restore(8)). Network related services like ftpd(8) are also described. All commands set an exit status. Its value may be tested to see if the command completed normally. Unless otherwise noted (rare), the value 0 signifies successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indicates an error. Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the failure by using error codes defined in sysexits(3), or set the status to arbitrary values >0 (typically 1), but many such values are not described in the manual. HISTORY
The intro section manual page appeared in 4.2BSD. BSD
