Backup your data
You cant live without electronics gadgets. It has become an integral part of our lives and we cant deny that. Computers, cameras, mobile phones and others. Some of these devices aids us in increasing our productivity and even learning.
Failure
Every electronic device is prone to failure, however reliable they are. This is especially so for your hard disk, where you store your precious data. As there are spinning and movable parts, they are subject to wear and tear and would eventually fail.
Imagine losing your documents, photos and videos of your family and growing kids. All these memories lost! How will you feel?
Backup Backup Backup
The simple solution to all these problem is to perform a backup. It is up to you to choose which medium you want to use, be it DVD disk, thumb drive or external 
portable drive. But ensure it is an external medium. I would suggest getting an external USB hard disk the like the Western Digital Elements or the Seagate FreeAgent. Prices of hard drives has dropped significantly and you might want to get the biggest size affordable. Otherwise a 500GB disk would do for most cases.
There are two methods of backing up:
Manual – Copy of all your data to the external drive. This method is just not practical and definitely not efficient.
Scheduled/Automated – automate the backup. There are many free applications available that does regular backup completely automated. If you dump docs and pictures regularly to your PC perform a weekly backup if not just perform bi-weekly. Just ensure your PC is turned on.
SAS issued desktops and laptops comes with Nero 7 Premium is pre-installed. I recommend using the Nero BackItUp to perform your backup.
Home users might want to use the Windows in-built backup application or use Cobian Backup or Comodo Backup. Mac users can use the in-built Time Machine application to perform your backup.
I will come up with a short video to show you how to use Nero BackItUp.
Remember folks, backup backup and backup!
