+      Why Backup?
+    </title>
+    <p>
+       Many files are irreplaceable.  Backups protect against loss of files. 
 
+    Files can be lost due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, and theft.      </p>
+    <p>Additionally, it may be good to have access to older versions of certain files.

+      What to Backup?
+    </title>
+    <p>
+    In general, you will want to backup files that are irreplaceable without a backup.  These files are usually in your home directory.   </p><p>If there is room on the backup media, it is best to backup the entire home directory with the following exceptions:
+    </p>
 
+<list>
+ <item><p>Files that you have copied from a CD, DVD, or other removable media, since it would be faster to copy them again than to restore them from backup.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Files that you can generate easily. For example, PDF's that can be generated from TeX files, or object files that can be made with make.  Just make sure the source is backed up.</p></item>

+      Where to Backup?
+    </title>
+    <p>
+    You should store backup copies of your files in file storage separate from your computer.

+   <list>
+    <title>Local and Remote Options</title>
+    <item>
+      <p>Removable storage such as an external hard drive or a USB memory stick. </p>

+   Alternatively, you can use an app that can back your files up for you.  </p><p>  One such app is <app>Déjà Dup</app>.  It hides the complexity of doing backups the right way, meaning regularly, off-site and encrypted.

    <p>Multiple ways you could back up, starting with manually copying files somewhere or writing them to a cd/dvd.</p>
