Tip number 1. Backup your data. I can't say this enough. Backup your data becuase your hard drive will die and fail and you will loose everything if you do not back it up. Moving all your files to an external hard drive is not a backup. To have a backup, you must have the same information in 2 different places at the same time, this way when you loose the data in one place you have it somewhere else. I'll post more tips on backup solution soon so keep following this group for more to come.
