Hello,  
Regarding backups I follow the procedures at [Create, download, and restore a backup of your Discourse database](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-download-and-restore-a-backup-of-your-discourse-database/122710). However, I noticed that there is a `postgres_backup` directory in the data container of Discourse (I’m using the two-containers setup). Can I just ignore it and focus on the backups stored in the web\_only container?
