I don't know, since I take backups every day. However, it's still
possible to destroy files. If you do a lot of work on a file and then,
after saving it and reloading it, you discover that all your automatic
cell character colours are ”gone”, you can choose between reloading
yesterday's backup of that file and do all the changes again OR
reformat all the affected cells. If you are really unlucky you don't
discover the problem until you already backed it up, so the backup is
also affected… (unless you have one backup for each file per day or
something, like MyFile 20110825.ods, MyFile 20110824.ods, MyFile
20110823.ods and so on, but I would need a way bigger drive for
that…).
