This is a design for a system in which *another component* can perform consistent backups of the internal ZKAPAuthorizer database which can be used to recover that database in the event primary storage of that database is lost.
The system does *not* allow ZKAPAuthorizer to maintain backups *on its own*.
This is a design for a system in ZKAPAuthorizer continuously maintains a remote backof of its own internal state.
These backups are made onto the storage servers the Tahoe-LAFS node into which ZKAPAuthorizer is loaded is connected to.
These backups can be used to recover that database in the event primary storage of that database is lost.
