A software bug in Espionage shouldn't ever make you unable to access your data, because ultimately that data is stored in an encrypted disk image, which is just hidden. You can always unhide the disk image and open it manually with your password to access your data. As for corruption, the same corruption problems and solutions that affect your hard drive affect disk images. For this reason you should maintain regular backups. Hey Peter,

What if something goes wrong, and even though I enter the correct password Espionage doesn't open the file? Could a software bug or data corruption cause me to lose my data? In other words, should a regular spreadsheet file become corrupted, I might still be able to recover all or most of the data. But what about encrypted data that then becomes corrupted? This may be a silly question, but here goes.
