It sounds to me like this reflects more on the startup's sloppy practices than anything else. Prevalence of this bad practice shouldn't be an excuse for it.

Regular database backups are a bad practice?

Keeping a backup from a year ago when three backups from yesterday are available, is.

I mean, I see the general wisdom of what you're saying, but I think older backups are still good practice. I've seen it take almost a week for a data corruption issue to be noticed. Not crazy to think it'd take even longer, sometimes.

You have a month to delete data under GDPR: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da...

I'd suggest this is a reasonable safety/compliance balance.
