If my server is unreliable, adding an unreliable backup is better than nothing.

That really depends. There are times when adding backups or "safety" features can make circumstances worse.
Exactly, I've had cases when half-assed "backup" components led to cascading failures that were horribly difficult to troubleshoot.
Maybe, but do you think it is good enough?
