It's not a technical question, it's just a business topic. If your users
can wait 24+ hours, it has sense. Otherwise you have better to build up
some kind of HA-cluster. It may be space-separated (one node in your home,
other one in your friend's home). How it can be done is another question,
competely a technical one, but not for exim's mail list.
