Lost Google contact and calendar data

http://www.daveswebsite.com/gsyncit_critical.shtml

Well I guess I know how I lost both my calendar and contact data now..

This is of course a very real concern, because I use synching to keep Google (the backend cloud), Outlook (my backup), and the iPhone (my user interface) all current. A problem with just one piece wipes out all three in roughly one minute. Luckily I had some backups of those folders in Outlook. And I will start making more! I guess the answer would be to get Outlook more into a backup mode than a synching mode, where I am getting a separate snapshot once a day or similar.
