+<h2>Backups</h2>
+
+<p>
+<strong>We strongly recommend you keep your own backups of your SQL schema and data. MySQL data is not stored in AFS.</strong>
+Although we use various technical means to try to ensure the availability of your data (including hardware-level redundancy and real-time replication), we can make no guarantees about the reliability of the service and access to your data.
+<?/*
+As you work with your SQL data, it is automatically saved on an additional secondary SQL server for restoration in the event of a server failure.
+Although we continually put forth our best efforts, we can make no guarantees about the reliability of the service and access to the data.
