GPT partitions should be at least as robust as MBR partitions are if not even more (e.g. because of using CRC). We are still talking about /possible/ issues with /one copy/ (of two) of the GPT - MBR doesn't even have a backup copy nor uses CRC. And if you are still concerned run 'gpart backup $disk/$partition(s)' before your regular backup - one should do so anyway.
