I use Haiku full time since before the last alpha release, and I never
had any data loss so far - but I don't update Haiku that frequently;
only if something worthwhile happened, and I consider it somewhat stable
(ie. it's always a good idea to wait with an update after kernel
changes).
Other than that, I backup to external HDs from time to time (too seldom
to have a good feeling about it, though).

It's your precious data, you hardly can be overcautious :-)
