saving files when system crashes

Programming a Labview 8 system to life test a product.  VI periodically saves test status cycle count, DUT parameters etc.   to a file.  This test will run for months at a time.  If the system crashes need to make sure the data files are not corrupted or lost. 
 
What is the best way/alternatives to protect the data files from system crash, power outage etc.
 
Thanks

A UPS system to provide temporary backup power and trigger a clean close and shutdown of the application is one means in conjuction to writing the data files to multiple drives (say a local C drive AND a remote network drive) should provide a good start to preventing data loss.
