Hi there, Kyle! I’d like to add that for files that are really, REALLY important — i.e. my daughter’s adorable photos ;) — I make backup files in an external drive as well as in a CD or a USB stick. Just so I can sleep better every night … :)

Great piece of advice, Kyle! It is highly necessary to invest in backup as soon as possible. You never know when something might go wrong. You’ll just sleep better at night knowing that you have some sort of safety net for your valuable files and documents.

@Cristy – If you have your originals on your computer hard disk and make a regular backup on the Seagate external hard drive, then yes, that is generally enough.
Both would need to fail before you would have a serious problem.
In case the data is very important to you, it does not harm to make another backup on DVD for example. It depends on the amount of data and the frequency of change really.

I rely solely on my Seagate external drive for backup. Is that wise?

Great stuff, Kyle! Really handy stuff, especially for ignorant computer users like me. ;)
