Taking backups on the database primary adds additional disk load, which can impact the performance of the application. Switch to taking backups on replicas, if they exist. Some deployments may have multiple replicas, and taking backups on all of them is wasteful and potentially confusing; add a flag to inhibit taking nightly snapshots on the host. If the deployment is a single instance of PostgreSQL, with no replicas, it takes backups as before, modulo the extra flag to allow skipping taking them.
