Ok, I clearly see your point and value it as a wise thing to do when you
only have BPC as a safety net.

Well, this is relatively different as BPC is shot over night once per
24Hrs. In fact, they only use it for former docs they mess with; current
ones, wrecked during the same day must be addressed by one admin, as
they must be extracted from an hourly FS snapshot.
But surprisingly, this is a very rare operation; which may be tied to
the fact that admins interventions are strictly limited to the morning,
no matter what (except servers breakdown.)
