The most important single precaution is to make regular backups. Sooner or later, you will need them.
In VFP, use FLUSH after TableUpdate() (or just after replacing records, if you don't use buffering). This should avoid most corruptions.
If your OS is set to use a write-cache, and the power fails, you can easily get corruption. Turn it off.
