I know from experience, which I learned the hard way, how important it is to back up your data. I was definitely that kid in college who's computer crashed the night before a midterm was due and had to START.OVER. So after that life changing experience, I probably over back up my data. In addition to saving things on an external hard drive, I have a Gmail account specifically for documents. When I finish something important, I simply send an email to myself in that account with the file/files I want to save. The great thing about this is there is no limit to the amount of data you can have (at least I have yet to reach a limit) and you can simply search for the name of the file to retrieve it! I'm talking papers from freshman year of college are still in there! I just try to be really good about putting what I'm saving in the subject line of the email and voila! Super fast and you can do it from any computer!
