My tablet froze right before a big client review

I was showing my new character design to a client over a video call last Tuesday. Right as I went to zoom in on the face details, my whole screen froze for a solid 45 seconds. I had to quickly switch to my phone to show the saved JPEG file I'd sent myself earlier. After the call, I did a full restart and cleared about 20 gigs of old project files I didn't need. It's made me start backing up my current work to the cloud every hour. Has anyone else had a tech panic moment during a presentation and found a good fix?

Honestly that "backing up every hour" habit is a total lifesaver. Tbh I've started doing the same thing but with an offline copy too, like a cheap USB drive I keep in my bag. It sounds paranoid but having a backup that doesn't need wifi saved me last month when my internet dropped. Ngl the real fix is just expecting things to go wrong and having a plan B ready to go.
