Hi!

I’m trying to create an application that uses orbit DB, but I have many doubts about how to persist the data.

Orbit db create a local node, and other nodes can connect to them, but, is there any way to persist the dababase data on ipfs to ensure that if all the nodes goes down, the data can be recover?

Once the data is pinned to the network it get persisted forerver?

Thanks
