Yeah, I know a lot of people would have been offended by what I said, so glad you took it positively.
My advice applies for any sort of programming/development though. It is basic advice that most developers I know of follow to some degree or another. I just might be slightly more obsessive about making backups and such. My backup advice is always something around the lines of: offsite backup that you backup somewhat regularly, onsite backup that you backup regularly (daily), on device backup that you backup super constantly (hourly backups) with at least 4 iterations of backups.
You'll notice that my backup advice is very similar to my advice on submissions.
