A.Prepare to make a quick backup.

B.Remember something is better than nothing.

C.Write down where you have important files.

D.Would you care if this was deleted tomorrow?

anization makes it easy to find your stuff later.

F.Preserve your digital memories now, before it's too late.

G.Remember that all storage devices eventually become obsolete (陈旧的).
