Many people reasonably use more complex backup strategies to strive for 100% data integrity.
But the easiest way to prevent at least 80% of data losses is storing everything twice.
Also, don't forget to save work as revision history (i.e. add a number and/or timestamp to the file name).
Backups don't hurt. Data loss does. (I learnt that the hard way.)
