I use Time machine for local backups and all my LC dev files are on Google Drive so I feel pretty comfortable with recovering any stack files I need.
There's another level of recovery I made available in lcStackBrowser. It's not made for backups per se, more in the way of keeping temporary versions of a stack while you're working on it. I called them checkpoints rather than backups for that reason. For example, I can save a version of a stack right before I start making major changes to it, along with a comment as to why I made it. lcStackBrowser displays an icon next to stacks that have checkpoints and shows me a list of them along with the date and time and any associated comment. So if I decide I don't want to proceed with my changes or just that I need to take a different approach, I can simply rollback to my checkpoint. Another way I use them is to automatically make a checkpoint every time I save the file, with or without a comment. I've learned the hard way that it's a good idea to do frequent saves in LC! So if I get a hard hang in LC, perhaps because of an error in a modal stack, I can quit LC, restart and rollback to the last working checkpoint. Many other checkpoint options too, like automatic checkpoints every n minutes.
