        Do you save your work periodically?
        N++ have an option of automatic backup (Preferences -> Backup).
        However, you better organize your own.

        For code I prefer using some kind of source control - separate database, history if you submit frequently, code sharing if relevant.
        In case, possible, you can use some remote source control - this will ensure that disk failure do not make big damage.
        For text documents you can use services like “Dropbox”, “HDrive” etc.
