I would put boot files on the SSD and back it up with Macrium Reflect free on another drive. If you have a laptop with only one drive, buy a thumb drive and use it to back up. You can backup once or every day depending on the time you want to involve. If lighting smokes the SSD you can replace the files in minutes after installing a new dirve.

Course I would give similar advice for a mechanical HDD also. I learned many moons ago to backup C: as soon as you get installed with all drivers and programs. If your data changes every day, think about what you simply must have to figure out what to backup and when. Programs don't need to be backed up, just the data it produces. On some programs I actually backup the data to separate multiple locations. I write my Bible studies in Word but save the study to at least 2 separate places to keep from typing 6-8 pages per chapter over again. My Genesis study alone lasted 57 weeks. If I lost it, I would literally loose thousands of pages. I also have hundreds of gigs of video's of my home study groups. I use a 6TB drive as my main backup and a 2 TB as a second backup.
