History File Corruption.

Every now and then my history file gets corrupted, I have had that happen to me three times in a span of a few months.
The hard drive that MPV resides in and the history file gets stored to has no read/write issues at all so I'm just wondering why this is happening and if there is a solution to mitigate this problem.

I lost my entire watch history of Films/Shows/Anime.. stuff that was spanning across multiple hard drives and now it's such a tedious and difficult task to re-find and re-add everything back and to the specific timestamps :(

It would be nice feature if a user-configurable option could be added that creates a backup of the history when mpv is launched and closed and an entry is modified/added/removed or something as a fail-safe.

I'd rather deal with the issue of manually deleting a few backup files every now and then rather than the former.
