How to recreate DLT tables from backup, if we loose all the files in case of disaster.

Hi All,

We're currently building our new data platform and want to have backup strategy in place incase of disaster ( loosing all the data files )
We plan to take backup of our Bronze and Silver layer DLT table data files on AWS and would like to know if it's possible to recreate all the DLT tables from those backup files, so that our pipelines continue to operate as usual.

Could you please share some insights about how we can have a backup plan for our DLT tables ?
