If we're talking about backups, along with taking actual backups I use BTRFS and use snapper to take a snapshot of my filesystem hourly, keeping 3 of the latest daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly backups. So if I did mess up something I should be able to find an appropriate backup depending on how long ago it was.
