Volume backups vs. explicit db backups
The most relevant thread I've found so far for state-of-the-art db backups in railway is https://discord.com/channels/713503345364697088/1126783082859614260, which suggests that older db backup methods like those suggested here https://blog.railway.app/p/postgre-backup will incur an egress tax, and that the best bet is volume-based backups which were in the works as of 2023-07-08. I can't find any hooks or mention of volume backups since then, is that still in the works. If so, does the current state-of-the-art of the railway db backups still incur an egress tax?
