The recipe dumped the DB on backup but shipped NO backupbot.restore.post-hook, and
archived the whole live PGDATA dir — so a restore extracted files under the running
postgres without reloading them, silently keeping the un-restored (live) state. A
restored backup therefore lost all data written since the snapshot.
Switch to the coop-cloud /pg_backup.sh convention (as matrix-synapse): backup =
pg_dump|gzip -> backup.sql; restore = terminate connections, FORCE-drop, recreate,
reimport the dump deterministically. Archive just backup.sql, not the whole PGDATA dir.
