Hi @jessalex 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

You have a very good question.

Tools:

Everyone has their preferences. I use the free AOMEI Backupper software to back up my PC. 

Strategies:

I back up my PC on an ad hoc routine depending on what is happening. Some folks need to do daily incremental or differential backups when they are continuously creating new data. I automatically backup data to external media as it is created.

My backup regimen revolves around recovering the operating system to an existing drive or a new drive to avoid having to start from scratch. 15 or 20 minutes to be back in business versus many hours to rebuild the system is a no brainer.

Data Security:

This is tough to define. I do backups to multiple external disks and test the recovery procedure to verify everything is okay.

You can take it to the extreme by doing backups to Cloud storage or storing offline backups at a different location.

Murphy's law applies to anything in life. Nothing is guaranteed. So you do as much as possible to ensure you can recover the system image when things go south.
