Fortunately you have your calendar data backed up since if any local
data is valuable enough to infuriate you if you accidentally delete
it, you would have it backed up.

As far as local solutions,  I don't know if any.  You can sync Apple's
calendar with other cloud solutions (Google, Exchange, Yahoo, etc.) as
well as any CalDav server.

So if you are truly committed to a local server, you could install a
CalDav server on your Mac.
