There's one thing that most users neglect or procrastinate on rather than actually doing, and it's also the most important system maintenance task you really need to do: Keep your PC backed up. The thing is, this doesn't need to be a time-consuming task; in fact, your best bet is to spend a small amount of time configuring automatic backups of your hard drive and just leave it alone.
A handful of great backup tools are available to choose from, but it doesn't really matter which one you use, as long as you make sure you're backing up your data the right way. The most important factor is that all your data exists in more than one place—you can't backup to a second drive, get rid of the original files, and consider yourself backed up. Redundancy is key.
While you're backing up your system, you should strongly consider making a full image of your hard drive so you can restore more easily in case of a failure. You've got a number of tools to choose from, but if you want step-by-step instructions, we've got a full guide to hot imaging your hard drive with DriveImageXML.
