Hi, i am considering moving my project from aws to Oracle free forever server. (They offer 1 server for free forever). I know that they delete the server randomly sometimes. So we might sometimes lose all our data. Here is what i want to know, from those who have previously used Oracle Free Forever server:

In my case it is a Analytics server. So i dont mind losing the current data sometimes
It also have auto backup and stuff. Again dont mind if they randomly delete it

Can i manually re-create the server after they delete it? Also it will be free right? And like any other issues that i should be aware of? How often does this Random deletion of server happens?

I made a free forever server and it got deleted after 2 weeks. As part of the server running I scheduled a daily rsync backup to my NAS and provisioned it with terraform so I can build it quickly again.
