Every data storage device is bound to fail at some point in time without exception. Having a backup system in place that mandates regular backing-up of important files quite regularly is the best way to overcome or avoid consequences of such unpleasant incidents involving Mac computers. There are tons of options available as far as onsite or offsite data backup solutions are concerned. To generate good number of leads, a quick search about “Data Backup” using helpful websites or any other major search is a good start.
Access your PC files remotely via smartphone using Polkast
There are many apps available both in App Store and Android Market to access files on your PC remotely. Zumocast is one such app that I found very useful.

Polkast is a free download both in App Store and Android Market.
Setup a personal VPN using Logmein Hamachi
Setting up a Virtual Private Network is not something that one would need in a regular home. However when you have a home network setup with multiple computers, sometimes you may need to get into the network to access shared drives or folders. It will not be an issue when you are home in the same network but when you are out, then comes the need for a VPN. VPN or Virtual Private Network is something that will create an environment to make your PC beleive that it is in your home (or office) network and communicate with your mapped drives.
Setting up a VPN may not be an easy task for a regular PC user. For such cases Hamachi from Logmein comes to rescue.

Logmein Hamachi has a free version for non-commercial use and a paid version for commercial use. For home use the free version is allowed and meets most of the requirements. Download the free version from their website. There is a managed version and a non-managed version. For a novice I would suggest the non-managed version.
