You not only should download and then edit...but make sure you pull down that fresh copy everytime and if possible keep the page in a couple of different places so you have the "good" original no matter what happens.
I feel you, but I take care of backups in others ways. My host makes daily backups for me that they keep, and I save weekly backups myself on a HD at my house. I don't do major coding or anything, I just do minor html stuff.
