Each user's schema in each database is backed up with the
rest of the database.  So, yes, all the user data
is as safe as the rest of the data.  The backups
make no distinction between the different databases.

Each user is the only one with permission to delete
things in their schema, but otherwise there is no
special protection against deletion.

Hunter told me years ago that we had 72 days of
daily backups.  We might want to query Hunter's replacement
to see if anything has since changed.
