do you store files as dng files with the lightroom settings built into the files?
If so, almost nothing can go wrong, since if you somehow corrupted the catalog so that it lost files or had metadata conflicts, a fresh import of those dng files into a new catalog will reconstruct all the edits and keywords etc that you have given each image. Your previews will be gone, but they will be reconstructed too. That's the reason I embed the metadata into DNG - you are not reliant on the catalog being right.
