metadata are stored in PostgreSQL database, which can be a part of GD.CN deployment or you can configure your own, e.g. AWS RDS.
The one in GD.CN is running in HA setup, outside GD.CN you can utilize e.g. Aurora to achieve HA.
GD.CN does not contain any jobs taking care of backups of this database. It's up to you to configure it.

There is the declarative organization API, which provides all metadata inside the organization (GET to backup, PUT to restore).
