Hosted databases are backed up by Pixeltable Cloud. For a local database, back up ~/.pixeltable/pgdata and ~/.pixeltable/media.
Stop Pixeltable, restore Postgres from the dump, copy media back, then start Pixeltable again. Pixeltable does not manage end-user accounts. Put auth on your HTTP layer. Do not expose PostgreSQL port 5432. Do not put long-lived cloud keys in config.toml if the host can use its own IAM role.
On Cloud, store secrets with pxt secret set (CLI). Table history: Version control.
