All you need to do is to backup your save file and prefs.prop.

I posted a python script earlier, which does periodical backups.

For more convenient use i attached a zip file to this post. All you need to get it running is a python interpreter. Afterwards unzip the file, use a text editor (or pythons IDLE by right clicking) to adapt the base_dir and backup_interval.
Then you should be able to start the PNATI_Backup.py by double clicking.

If the game should crash on you, just unzip one of the backups. You might also want to delete older Backups every now and then for space reasons. I don't delete them automatically, because in the worst case you would end up with only backups of the time after the crash if you would wait to long.

That's a relatively convenient workaround until there is an official solution.
