You could always create a prescheduled job to export all tasks, those could be imported back if there is a problem down the road.

There are some drawbacks to backing up the *.job files from the c:\windows\tasks directory, especially with regard to passwords, but necessary, you should be able to back up those *.job files by using a prescheduled command to copy the *.job files from the c:\windows\tasks directory to some other directory that you can back up, say, q:\important\tasks. Your backup job can then pick them up from there. Alternatively, you might consider using a batch file containing schtasks commands to redefine your tasks whenever you need to. This way you can store your passwords in the task definition.
