    Sorry, I haven't followed up on this question for a long time due to 
personal reasons.
   
   I think the backup table can be designed as an external table, so that after 
the backup table is deleted, only the metadata will be deleted without deleting 
the data files, so that iceberg will not be affected.
   
   In certain circumstances, it is necessary to delete the backup table. After 
the deletion is performed, the data file is also deleted, which makes the 
iceberg table unavailable.
   
   Looking forward to your reply
