There's very little reason to be nervous. I've been using InDesign for production for the last seven years or so, and in that time I've lost perhaps one, possibly two files. When it happens, it's certainly a pain in the butt, but ID is far and away the most stable layout program I've ever used. Pagemaker would regularly self-destruct an entire newspaper at deadline, and Quark wasn't much better.

Good computing practice dictates that you should be backing up your data files at least once a day, and not just because you may occasionally have an ID file (on any other single file) go south on you. I've replaced at least three hard drives that failed in the last year, and believe me, a backup looks like cheap insurance when that happens.
