2. Are there any server-side transaction logs that could help recover recent data?
3. Does the underlying PostgreSQL instance have any automatic backup mechanisms?

This is 6 months of research data that's been lost. Any help, guidance, or escalation to Prisma team would be incredibly appreciated. Even if recovery isn't possible, I need to understand what happened and how to prevent this in the future.
