Ah, but that's not what you asked (at least not as I interpreted it).
You see, postgres does what you want if there's a simple power failure.
Everything committed stays committed. You can protect against disk
failure with RAID arrays also. What it sounds like is that you want to
protect from someone blowing up your storage system.

I think you need to step back and work out exactly what you are
protecting against. Because it looks like your suggestion won't protect
against a meteor stike on your data centre and 100km surrounding.

Tell us what you are protecting against, then you can get some more
useful answers.

Have a nice day,
