<title>What should you backup?</title>
<p>
Your priority should be to backup your most important files as well as those that are difficult to recreate. An example of most important to least important:
</p>
<terms>
<item>
<title>Your personal files </title>
<p>Documents, spreadsheets, email, calendar data, financial data, music, anything that you made that has importance to you. These are clearly the most important as they may be irreplaceable.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Your personal settings</title>
<p> This includes changes you may have made to colours, backgrounds, screen resolution and mouse settings on your desktop. This also includes program preferences, such as settings for <app>LibreOffice</app>, your music player, and your email program. These are replaceable, but may take up valuable time to recreate.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>System settings</title>
<p>Most people never change the settings that are created during installation. If you do customize your system, you may wish to backup these settings.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<title> Installed software (and everything else). </title>
<p> Such software can usually be restored by reinstalling, but not always.</p>
</item>
</terms>
<p>
In general, you will want to backup files that are irreplaceable and files that require a great time investment to replace without a backup. </p>
