Describe the issue: There have been several situations where we ended up with data loss for Noobaa as we only have a single copy of DB. If anything goes bad with DB and we are unable to recover, this leads to total data loss.

As an immediate recommendation, we wish the customer to take the necessary backup of noobaa db and configuration at regular intervals so that at least we can revert to an older DB if we are unable to recover it. Even in this situation, there may be data loss, but this won't be a complete loss of data.

we even recommend the backup to be taken before any maintenance activity like upgrade etc.

Suggestions for improvement:

refernce the KCS https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6686081 from the deployment and upgrade doc with some context why we want that.
