If you have owned your laptop for a number of years, chances are that you have hundreds upon hundreds of files — from photos of your family to the latest draft of your resume — saved on the machine. You want to periodically go through everything and weed out what is no longer necessary in order to keep your hard drive and storage space as clear as possible. But there are some items that are so important they should always be kept on the computer, and also backed up on another source.

Here are a few items you should keep safe:

• Important documents: Whether it is an picture you want to keep or an important report for work, there are some documents that need to be saved to an external source. That way, if there is an issue with your computer, the files will still be kept safe.
• Media: You don't want to keep your laptop clogged with video files, pictures and music. Keeping all of these things backed up to an independent source will give you some much needed freedom and increased storage space on the computer itself.
• Old photographs: The great thing about the digital age is that you can store old pictures and keep them safe from the passing of time. These are memories that you will want to treasure forever, and backing them up will allow you to have peace of mind.
