Backups
Test your backups
Test your backups. No point doing backups if you find that, at the point you need it, you can’t restore.
Probably makes your life easier too when it comes to upgrading your computer.
Multiple backups, in different places.
Versioning versus full image: get back an older copy of a document, where you made a change a week ago which you wish to revert, versus easy of rebuilding your system
Keeping copies of your data elsewhere
Something like Nextcloud to automatically backup selected folders from your machine, pretty much immediately when a change is made.
Encrypt your backups… but if you lose the passphrase, you’ve lost your backups too.
