My Backup Philosophy
Should have access to all of my old files
Files should be backed up both locally and remotely
Move all of the data I think I will need to the new computer
Using a manual procedure
Or Free Software
If you forget something, simply attach the USB drive or hard drive and copy over the missing data
In my last migration to a new computer I never had to use the backup once!
