Comment (by creativemashwp):

 I actually built a plugin for this exact reason called Menu Backup &
 Restore. https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-backup-restore/

 It automatically saves a backup every time a menu is updated, so if
 someone changes or deletes a menu by mistake, you can restore it in one
 click. The latest update (v1.0.1) also records which user saved the menu,
 which really helps with accountability when multiple admins are involved.

 Honestly, something like this should be part of WordPress core — any site
 with more than one admin should have it installed. It’s lightweight, free,
 and has already saved me and others a lot of hassle.
