This shouldn't be a big problem, because you have automatic
backup of your org and other files, right?

Combining this with the builtin undo and setting up Emacs' own
backup properly (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ForceBackups)
makes any recent or older version of your org files easily
retrievable, so no information can be lost.
