we backup our database...? well we currently have a two-node mysql compatible aurora cluster on aws so that we have a hot standby with automatic promotion when the master goes off-line. we still use backups in case we damage things and the damage gets replicated to the slave. backups are something you simply specify on the aws dashboard. we are then relying up on aws being able to not loose all the backups at the point where we damaged the database which seems okay.
