It sounds like their solution is set up that way.

From https://postgres.heroku.com/#protect : "Every change to your data is written to write-ahead logs, which are shipped to multi-datacenter, high-durability storage. In the unlikely event of unrecoverable hardware failure, these logs can be automatically 'replayed' to recover the database to within seconds of its last known state."

It sounds like their solution is set up that way.

I think the question is whether the customer will be able to perform a point in time recovery, and what the size and resolution of the backlog is.

Not yet.
