Database recovery and best practices

I just had a scary accident where cursor IDE inadvertently deleted my Supabase database .
What is the best way to prevent such incidents.
Can entire projects be backed up or only database and db objects? Any best practices?

For the first question, in terms of best practices (particularly around using LLMs) it's worth reading this section of the docs https://supabase.com/docs/guides/getting-started/mcp#security-risks

Model context protocol (MCP) | Supabase Docs

For the 2nd question in terms of best practices, i don't think you can update a whole project as backups mainly focus on a database but using git you should be able to check in to version control a lot of conifg/code

Also to confirm, did you get your data back via restoring a backup?

Thank you! Yes, I restored the data from the back up.
