If you have to retain it for a minute or a month doesn't change that  
you "have to retain it" (if that's the case).

Then you are using it as a (relatively unreliable) database.

In your situation, the typical setup is to save the data in a  
"proper" database (too).

Another variation that sometimes works is to divide the data up in  
"really not important" (memcached only) and "important" (real  
database + memcached if needed).
