1. No backup, no chance of recovery. Note that the back up doesn’t need to be recent, as long as you have every log file since the last backup which you can play back to reach the point in time of the failure.
2. I doubt you have 25Gb of data you actually need for production. Consider running a separate server for reporting purposes (aka data warehousing) by splitting your data up into:
   • “data you need to process transactions” (eg the last 30 days of transactions)
   • “data for reporting” (everything else)

Data warehousing makes your production system smaller and therefore easier to manage changes and backups, and faster.
