Re: [Orgmode] Preventing (or mitigating) accidental deletion in org-mode

[Russell Adams]

You're recreating what version control is for.

I have my org-files setup in a Bazaar repo, and if any changes were
made it auto-commits hourly via cron. I can also manually commit.

Prior to committing, I can press C-x v = to see a diff of what has
changes, and the Bazaar tools make it easy to step backward through
the history to see changes.

Version control is your backup and your protection against data loss.
