seriously do your backups. things get broken and deleted very easily. and store them on a different server. at home or on s3 or backblaze or even google drive. many good software: duplicity, borg, ... daily is reasonable but even monthly is better than none. and check them once in a while. if you operate something just have backups. it's important.

@er1n duplicity can backup to s3, and you can call pg_dump | bzip2 before that to get a clean pg dump that you can safely restore after
