I was aware of this topic, just feel that some user inputs could be interesting.
Okay, here's the official answer: I am not sure if it is necessary to have backup mods. I mean the task of the moderators here is to keep discussion civilized, and it's not a board with an attendance of several hundred posts per day like on some support forums and we don't see troublemakers on a regular basis either. So even if one mod goes underground for a while, I don't think this would cause significant problems with the board, I mean I can still handle it.
