Good!
Prevent future occurrence. Create a shellscript or batch file to back up the
file (to a different version) and run it every 10 minutes so that if you get
knocked back, you only get knocked back 10 minutes.
Maybe you are not aware that LyX already autosaves your files? Look at
the Preferences settings dialog; the default is to make a backup every 5
minutes.
I know you're done with this project, but do this for all your projects.
By the way, I have a system to use rsync to make incremental backups, taking
maybe a minute. I can run it several times a day so nothing can mess me up.
My backup system saves each incremental so I can restore files to any of the
backup times.
Why don't use a source control management (SCM) system instead?
