It seems to me that no matter how many precautions you take, you might be the unlucky one who gets the crash that you can't recover from. Early on I had this happen to me.
What I did, is not a solution, but merely a "Band-Aid".
I simply keep a running set of 4 saves, all separated by some time or distance.
So, for example, I will save while out at sea, in the clear, do this two times, maybe three, each maybe 100KM from each other. I just call them save1, save2, etc..
The only thing this does of course is (hopefully) gives you several different restore points. This has always worked for me, one time going back to the third save. I really believe it was a certain location/time/situation which I may never see again unless I'm in the same place at the same time.
I keep the saves far enough away from each other so as not to all be corrupted, but close enough such that I don't lose an entire mission.
I realize this isn't the answer you want, but it has kept me going for the last year or two now.
