Last time I, and others, asked same thing, the answers were same as earlier:

- one daily backup is enough
- use external tools, like scritps and cron

Well, one daily backup from database is not enough, hourly could be close.

Any external tool can do the job, that’s true. But every other apps offer decent backup natively, but not Discourse.

I really would like to know if the reason for that is

- ”we just don’t want, that’s why nobody else doesn’t need it”
- it is technically really hard and/or expensive

Well, and always there is third option: #Marketplace
