That is a drag, but be glad it's just 6 hours. I know of people who've lost days, even weeks of work on many different platforms. The most I ever lost was one day's work switching from one version of daVinci 888 to another version, but it was just one reel of a feature. And as I always say, "redoing it is faster, because you remember what you already did the last time." The redo took half the time.
I think covering your a$$ with session backups, database backups, and still frame backups all will help. And don't forget to backup the media, too. I almost got hammered on a recent session where a client drive failed (this is the known USB3 / OSX 9.4 bug where the drive goes stupid and refuses to eject), and we barely got it back in time to finish the project. No easily-accessed backups in this case.
