It *is* possible to clobber your database if you rely on ubik to propagate and screw up adding or moving servers. The catch is if you bring up enough servers to establish a quorum, but don't give them a valid copy of the database, they'll create a new empty one. That new copy will overwrite any older copy you might subsequently supply.
If/when we actually do any work on Ubik improvements, we ought to figure out a way to make this more robust. I _want_ people to be able to upgrade their servers by adding one server at a time, or a whole bunch, or whatever, and not screw themselves.
