One thing someone like you could use is append-only storage of anything critical. The idea is you never delete a file until you run out of room for it. There's a whole series of versions of a file with your system pointing to the recent one. So, if something bad happens, you can rewind an individual file or the system as a whole back to some point.

It might take a lot of extra storage to do that. I could see never losing work being worth throwing terabyte drives at a system only using 120GB. Add one or two for RAID, one for local backup, and some remote storage like Backblaze or Glacier for best results. The backups would just keep the current versions or periodic snapshots to reduce cost.

Note: I don't know if this feature is supported in the Windows ecosystem right now. Versioned filesystem was a feature of its predecessor, OpenVMS. It did much of what I described plus clustered apps. Only difference was storage was too limited for the versioning to really go as far as I'm advocating. Mainly just posting to give you an idea of how extra storage might help you should your OS support the use case.
