Always be grateful for what you have now because you may run into the unexpected. Accidents are sometimes irreversible and you have to live with the consequences. No matter who you are, you are bound to have some sort of accident waiting to happen one day. The only thing you can do is try to prevent it by not getting into that situation and prepare for when it does happen.
I have come across an accident or rather an expected situation which resulted in the disappearance of one of my Minecraft saves with my trains in them today. I lost 6 Work in progress trains that haven't been uploaded and couldn't be retrieved back through file recovery. I just opened up Minecraft and it just wasn't there. Things don't just disappear by themselves so it must have been an accident on my part. It shocked me and left me a bit disappointed. My regret is not uploading the World save to PMC, but I have come to terms with what has occurred. I'm glad I had at least had a photo of one of the trains I was going to upload which was an ICE 3, which I shall have to rebuild. I also do have a tiny bit of photographic memory on what it kinda of looked like.
My advice to the rest of you is to be really careful about your files and get some sort of backup system if you care about your work. Luckily I have schematics so I have not lost everything. Taking screenshots is also a good way of "backing up" since you can take those screenshots to help rebuild what you lost and they can be made at the press of a button. When accidents happen, you just have to deal with it, not acting angry, accept the situation and try to make it better.

If you want files to be save, go with 3 backups and keep them up to date as good as you possibly can. Daily backups before bed time are pretty easy to get used to and with proper organization it's not difficult or time consuming.
You keep one backup on the same storage drive that you play minecraft on. The one where the .minecraft folder is located. If something happens to your minecraft game files that corrupt the saves, copy from that backup.
Another backup should be located on a secondary drive in case of a hardware failure.
A third backup is physically not within your computer and - if you happen to do this as a job - not located in the same building either in case of fire, power surges or whatever. Online storages such a mediafire can provide such a service for free but remember the re-upload the files within 2 years if they're old and don't receive updates anymore as mediafire deletes them after that time.
