One server here, one across town, or even two separate boxes in a single room -- sure. But in the same box? If the the box is on fire, now you're out both your main and your backup server.

No, you are right. However, two servers still are better than one. There are cases when one of them is down but not the other. And later, if I get another box, I can move the vm there easily.
However, let's not get sidetracked too deep in this.
