Suresh,
Good post. Talking about "Regularly back up important files" is one of the items I strong believe that lot of people are not doing. Everybody knows that they should backup, but only very few does it consistently
For me, backup has always been #1 priority for all the servers at work AND my home pc and laptop. I take this very seriously.

excellent tips and very true about the backing up. I think everyone knows they should but it some how doesn't happen. I too am sometimes guilty of not backing up, I do it very sporadically.
I'm trying to get better!!
