   <title>Tips</title>
 
+<p>
+Deciding what files to backup and finding where they all are is the most difficult step when attempting to perform a backup.  Below we list where most of your important files will be, so you can find them more easily.

+<terms>
+<item>
+   <title>Your Personal Files and Settings</title>
+<p>These are usually stored in your home folder (<cmd>/home/your_name</cmd>). They could be in subfolders such as Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos and/or .evolution. If your backup medium has sufficient space, consider backing up the entire <cmd>/home</cmd> folder. This is the simplest way.</p>
+
+<p>
+      If you are not able to backup all of <cmd>/home</cmd>, see below for a list of some subfolders of the <cmd>/home</cmd> directory to check for important files.
