We use two methods of backup to keep the database afloat amid things
going horribly wrong.  We have 1 or more slony backup dbs that allow
for failover and load balancing.  We have offsite pg_dump backups
which are transferred via ssh to an offsite server in case of
catastrophic failure in the data center (like a huge power surge) that
kills both servers.

We routinely restore backup sets or parts of them for various testing scenarios.
