Frederic, with ICD you can scheduele an automatic backup at any point https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/cloud-databases-api#initiate-an-on-demand-backup. You can use this in addition to our daily backups to achieve a common schedueled backups across your services.
For Cloudant, this would just have to be built into couchbackup script.
