To minimize the potential for loss of data, save worlds on a regular basis. When adding major updates, add a version number suffix to the end of the filename, so if the world file gets corrupted at any point it is easy to use the previous version. E.g. the next time the file needs saving, choose Save Word As ... and change the name to Base-01, Base-02 etc.
