Data Preservation

It's amazing how many people don't take data preservation seriously until they've suffered a catastrophic loss. You lose a couple emails.... you'll live. You lose the only copies of family photos you spent 5 years scanning... you get the idea. Determining how much data you have will dictate the storage media to use. Sometimes it's a CD/DVD but with file sizes these days, it's most likely a second or external hard drive.

Backup - If there is ANYTHING you've installed, created, spent endless hours on, or cannot function without, implement a backup strategy.
