Had a nightmare scenario in my previous startup where Google Cloud just killed all our servers and yanked out access. We got back access in an hour or so, but we had to recreate all the servers. At that point we were taking Postgres base backups (to Google Cloud Storage) daily at 2:30 AM. The incident happened at around 15:00 so we had to replay the WAL for the period of about 12.5 hours. That was the slowest part and it took about 6-7 hours to get the DB back up. After that incident we started taking base backups every 6 hours.</text></comment>

I hope that it will make it into the final release.&lt;p&gt;I wonder how much time combining the backups will take If you have 100 or 500GB, the tests didn&amp;#x27;t address this. I might have to spin up an instance to try it out.</text></comment>
