Backup. Backup right now.
Just a quick note: back up your data. Do it now. Set aside a few minutes to take care of it.
I will be your poster boy for this: I just lost an entire year’s worth of work.

When I return from vacation, I will do my back ups. I haven’t done anything comprehensive in about 6 months. I’m a fool!
Not funny ending to a not funny geek joke: “…and then he lost all of his data! Ha ha ha!”

Back up your data now, but don’t stop there. Spend a few hours and work out a backup plan which includes incremental daily backups.
Focus on making it as easy as possible. If your computer’s always on, set up backup as a cron job. If you turn your computer off at the end of the day, set up backup to run with one keystroke. Create an alias for backup on your desktop for backup. Add a copy of that alias to your system’s main menu.
After I lost data to a backup-less system crash, I wrote a backup script that finds all files modified since the last backup and copies them to a Zip disk, preserving the directory structure to allow easy restoration. I added a shortcut to the script to the top level of my Windows Start menu. All I have to do to back up is pop in a Zip disk, hit two keys (Windows-B), and pop the disk when the script is finished. It’s so easy to do that when I consider skipping backup, the excuse “it takes too much effort” is so ridiculous I’d be ashamed to use it.
The key to a successful backup strategy: make backing up easy enough so that it becomes a habit.
