Good!
Prevent future occurrence. Create a shellscript or batch file to back up the
file (to a different version) and run it every 10 minutes so that if you get
knocked back, you only get knocked back 10 minutes.
I know you're done with this project, but do this for all your projects.
By the way, I have a system to use rsync to make incremental backups, taking
maybe a minute. I can run it several times a day so nothing can mess me up.
My backup system saves each incremental so I can restore files to any of the
backup times. Here's a description:

Here's something along the same lines:

Put it in a cron job and cease to worry. I've got dozens of *complete*
backups going back years, and the whole business takes up only about
three times the space of the original files.
