Keep your design under revision control. I prefer git.

With all due respect, shame on Kicad for the lame behavior
and poor excuse.? IMHO, backup provided by the tool should be
solid - there are no excuses.? No guarantee that doing your own
backup would prevent the problem...If they are blaming the
behavior on 'things going on in the background' then you could
save an already corrupted file.? This shows a lack of discipline
on the backup mechanism.
I think it's maybe premature to blame KiCad for this. I've never
noticed corrupted backup files. But then I don't routinely use
Windows, which has a habit of doing updates and reboots in the
middle of the night when it thinks no one is watching. To be fair,
John says he forgot to save the file before retiring for the night.
