Dreamhost = cheap and cheerful, at least I'm cheerful anyway. Just make your site do something sensible if your DB is down.

My data was restored and I have lost a couple of hours worth of data (which contained only one item that i have since restored myself).

Dual drive failure is very rare, but the nightly backups are the safety net for such an occurrence. In this type of case you will lose the data between the last nightly backup and the dual drive failure.
