Also, if one decides to use LuaTeX/XeTeX instead of pdfTeX (s)he must have some reason and might be willing to do some minor changes to the document if needed.

And once ConTeXt starts complaining, it's already too late (the file has gone). :) :) :) But yes - before recompiling an old document, a backup is not a bad idea at all.
