No. Only the final exitus-in-tabula.

Yes. Disk spindown doesn't work so, and I see no reason to have a
backup zone that is used few times a day spinning 24 hours.

BTW, I would greatly appreciate if we would reconsider the need for
the server to read the postmaster.pid file every few seconds (probably
needed for something, I don't know).
That makes it necessary to set atime=off to get a spindown, and I
usually prefer to have atime=on so I can see what my stuff is
currently doing.
