May I recommend a versioning or snapshot capable filesystem like BTRFS? It lets me tweak and make mistakes with little fear.

With that said, always keep proper backups of data you care about.

yeah that's what I'm using. I have snapshots set up to automatically be taken. at first it wasn't because I didn't realize the cronie service wasn't enabled, but now it's all good. takes a snapshot monthly, 3 times daily, and at boot.
