(this link says to me "you must be logged in to read this article")

I'm probably missing some information here, but why would the appliance
dying have anything to do with the software running on it? "NoSQL"
isn't a magic bullet against hardware failures and/or lack of backups.

Note, I'm not actively advocating against CouchDB here, I'm simply
surprised by the arguments you are giving for a migration.

Regards

Antoine.
