Backing-up private journals

The iA writer's (an app) library on iCloud seems robust in that it offers the versioning feature, although I am not sure whether the element comes from the app or iCloud itself. However, if I accidentally delete a file in the library, does the app still have the capability to recover it? Does the versioning feature work even if the original file is removed with which all the versioned files are associated? A little bit of Googling does not give me a clear-cut answer.

I have been using the app for private journaling. I use dates as file names, so lots of separate files are in the library. Every single file counts. Can I rely on the backup or versioning feature the app uses, or do I have to make a separate and manual backup every now and then? I decided to do the latter until I fully understand, if possible, the way the app or iCloud handle backups and versions. Even if they have done the jobs pretty reliably, I still have another solid backup I can handle easily.

Does the versioning feature work, even if the original file is removed with which all the versioned files are associated are removed ?
