It's not like that. It's more like 'what will happen if we had a
powercut/
disk failure/cpu failure/memory failure, etc, etc.' and that answer I
have
to give is 'why, there is PITR of course!'. No other answer will pass in
enterprise world. Those people are not open-minded, they'd rather be
safe
than sorry.

Nothing remarkable. PostgreSQL just works. Bu as I said before,
In enterprise world, good sleep at night is treasured above all.
