Once it is in HDFS, you already have backups (due to the replicated file system).
Your problems with deleting the dfs data directory are likely configuration problems combined with versioning of the data store (done to avoid confusion, but usually causes confusion). Once you get the configuration and operational issues sorted out, you shouldn't lose any data.
