Ah, one adventurer of mine slayed the end game demon! Trained him up to legendary thrower and sent him to my dead fort. Walked around and found a copper ballista bolt loaded into my entrance ballista. Naturally I pick it up and begin searching for that adamantine armor and battle axe. Suddenly... the demon appears! I hurl the ballista bolt with one mighty throw and take off one of its legs. I then proceed to beat it with my iron axe and kill it. As I'm picking up some adamantine boots...

the game crashes.  :mad:

Oh, that bites. I hear you get an inflate error if you don't save and quit properly, so I've started taking no chances at all! I back up everytime an adventurer of note dies, if I have a long living one, every few hours of play. In Dwarf Fortress, after every major set of events I don't care to lose.

I back up my saves with 7zip. Works well, actually. You zip and compress the save file and pack it away. Put a date on it, too.
