Easy peasy. Buy an external harddrive or some cloud drive, and perform backups of everything. External harddrives are dirt cheap these days, and forever incremental redundant backups are very easy to perform due to great consumer products. It's just a matter of doing it, and nothing like this will ever be a problem.
