from scratch whats the best way? THESE ARE SOME IMPORTANT SPECS OF MY LAPTOP

Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-370M Dual Core Processor (2.40 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache) + Intel(R) HD Graphics

• FREE Upgrade to 500GB 5400RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• No Additional Office Software (I'll just use Open Office)
• No additional security software (I have Norton already bought)
• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (standard) - Up to 5.25 hours of battery life +++
• 15.6" diagonal High Definition LED HP Brightview Widescreen Display (1366x768)
• SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• HP TrueVision Webcam and Digital Microphone
• Intel Wireless-N Card
• Standard Keyboard
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

I don't want to use my hard drive to back up all my stuff like.
I've been looking around and I see things about IMAGE/SYSTEM BACK UP, FULL SYSTEM RESTORE, & REGULAR BACK UPS...

What should I do? I'm pretty computer savvy. But I've had the laptop I have now since '06 and never had any problems as drastic as having to fully restore my machine. But knowing how the world is today from before (I'm 20 years old btw), they build things that have a low life expectancy so that I'll comeback for more.

The laptop I'm getting in the mail is an
HP dv6t Series Edition. (2011)

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO BACK MY STUFF UP WITHOUT USING ALL OF MY HARD DRIVE IF ANY OF IT AT ALL?
