Don't have 1 tacacs server. Have 2 or 3.

Can the user still login somehow in case its very critical?

Configure a local user that only you know the password for and use that
in emergencies. It's rather pointless I feel to have backup local users
for all your human users - what then is the point of tacacs?

The user manual shipped with the tarbal has useful info in this section:

CONFIGURING AUTHENTICATION ON THE NAS
