The safest approach is just do not run it as root. There is no need to do that anyway.
Which you can just restore from the system that is still functional. If the whole disk is wiped, then you are hosed without an external backup.
If you are running a Linux distribution a lot of this is setup by default, but you are right, I keep forgetting a lot of web developers run Windows.
