It's a requirements and issues (defects & enhancement requests) database,
constantly being modified by the programmers (who post implementation notes
in the requirements records.)  The cost of 1 hour of data loss could be
several hours of work.  The database is about 400M, and backs up in a couple
minutes.  We put in the hourly backup months ago, after getting a data
corruption in the 1.5 RC2 version, and haven't had any reason to turn it
off, even though we haven't had any corruption since last May.
