Re:Ask HN: What is your startup's backup policy?

We backup a complete snapshot of our customer data every hour to S3, via a Ruby cronjob.
We should be able to keep up this strategy because it's "just" a time tracking app (http://letsfreckle.com/) with fairly lightweight data.
I was originally worried that once we got into production, this'd cause a performance drop every time it ran, but so far it's all good.
As for our codebase, we're on github and our own 4 laptops. But thinking about it, we should have another system in place for that. looks around nervously
