There are many, many things you can easily and safely do yourself. Sure there are some things that pay to pay a pro, but there aren't many. With so much information available and so many experts around, you can probably just ask a few questions and get it done by yourself. It seems to me there are several knowledgeable people right here in the cellar. Don't be afraid to try it with help. I am sure the friendly folks here will give step-by-step instructions you can print out and follow.
I am sure some will throw stones at me for this, but as far as backups and/or copies go, I personally just make copies of things (files) I want to keep. If the actual software or OS goes south to the point that I would want a "re-do" I would rather just perform a clean install and re-install my favorite programs and then recover my back up files. I just keep a list of my must have programs so I can remember what it is that I want to remember.
