If multiple Atlantis hosts are run by utilizing a shared redis backend, then it's important that the `data-dir` is using a shared filesystem between hosts. However, if you were to lose the data, all you would need to do is run `atlantis plan` again on the pull requests that are open. If someone tries to run `atlantis apply` after the data has been lost then they will get an error back, so they will have to re-plan anyway.
