The stack replaces the previous one or the backup replaces the previous one? While having a single backup is a good start, you might want to consider keeping several backups so you can restore from, say, a data entry error that you discover two months after it happens.

The new cloud stack replaces the old which is then decommissioned.

Database images are immutable and a history of them are kept.
