3) Delete old backups to save space unless you have certain files

Backup vs Archive -- two different things.
5) Always buy the largest sized HDD your budget can allow, because

In my experience, each volume on the backup drive needs to be the
full size of the source plus enough extra room to hold a month or
three worth of "incremental" data. On my general use machine, my
incrementals are 200 to 500 MB/day.
