Hi, I'm having trouble understanding database disaster risk and recovery options. (I'm not asking about archiving a copy of the database). I don't see any mention of RAID, and while your marketing page mentions replication there's nothing in the docs about it (http:// docs.heroku.com/search?q=replication) so I don't understand if and how we can enable this.
So is it guaranteed that the data will remain available (unless our app does something to screw it up)? i.e. there won't be any unrecoverable failure of the Heroku platform that results in data loss? Or do we need to manage this ourselves? All I can find in your documentation is instructions on how to manually back up the database. Obviously that can be done by cron, but a) cron runs hourly at most and b) a full dump of a database isn't a good way to keep it continuously backed up unless the dataset is tiny. Again, I'm just talking about disaster recovery from a platform failure. Obviously there's a risk that I'd screw up my own data with a bug or bad migration, but I'm OK with taking a snapshot less frequently to guard against that.
