Back up non-Apple GarageBand loops

This is a pretty simple one, but it might turn out to be useful. When you add new loops to GarageBand, you might want to think of backing them up. If you don't regularly back up your startup volume, and want to make sure you don't lose your loops, they're stored here:

/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/SingleFiles

If you back up that folder, you'll be able to recover lost loops if you have disk problems or lose them for any other reason. The Apple Loops, installed by the GarageBand installer, are here:

/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/Apple Loops for GarageBand

You don't need to back those up, since a reinstallation will replace them.
