Yeah, syncing with default settings is a bad idea for backup, but it's better than nothing.
A more robust set up, while not foolproof, is to set history to keep all copies for 30 days, not a fixed amount of files. It's also important to set conflict detection so if the file is modified on two devices in between syncs, it will keeps both copies (and cross-syncs them).
