Nostr isn’t like a client-server system where each note only “lives” on the relays you posted to. It’s closer to a gossip network, where relays exchange events with each other, and clients sync from multiple relays.

Where do the events live?
Or do they rely on 100% up time by the network to survive?
Dont relays store a database of events?
What I’m saying is, they don’t ONLY live on the relay that you post them to. They get distributed around the network.
Anyone can decide to keep a copy and keep it online, yes, it would require 100% uptime for each relay to hold everything.
You can run your own relay pretty simply and store a copy of your own notes in case your connected relays ever go offline
Yes that's what I do
