Rant: My entire Procreate file corrupted during a big commission

I was working on a character portrait for a client in Seattle, about 8 hours into the final piece, when my iPad crashed. When I rebooted, the file was just a blank canvas. I had to scramble and use a 2-day-old backup from my Google Drive, losing a ton of progress. Has anyone else had a Procreate file just vanish, and what's your backup routine now?

That's the worst feeling, sorry that happened. I saw @the_spencer had a similar crash. My routine is just manual saves to cloud storage every hour now, it's a pain but worth it.

Remember @the_spencer's crash when my old tablet died mid-delivery route.
