Q: How to sync iCal between iPhone 5S and MBP (Retina) without losing data?

I have two active Apple products - an iPhone 5S, and a MBP 13" Retina.

I would like to sync the iCals on these two devices - but the last time I tried to do so, the syncing process deleted some of my (very important) data from my MBP and basically wiped off everything to replace it with the data from my iPhone's iCal (which I wasn't using).

My active iCal is the one on on my laptop - how can I sync it and make sure that I'm not going to lose my data from my MBP's iCal?

 

MBP iCal Preferences

  • Signed into iCloud

 

iPhone iCloud settings

  • Not synced at all

 

My questions

  1. Is there a way to back-up my iCal on my MBP in case syncing it erases all of my appointments?
  2. Is there a way to make sure that my data on my MBP is not wiped off, and it is the one that will be reflected across my devices?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2
