Set the volume to 100, that's all you need.
But, remember, software volume control is good as long as your gain
chain is ok. It's done in 24 bits, so any rounding errors are several
orders of magnitude below the noise floor introduced in even the best
amplifier chains.
It's been my experience that using external media like that (I assume
FAT or NTFS on the external drive) on Linux can be problematic. The
drivers to access NTFS and FAT filesystems do not handle
permission/owner changes the way you would expect a normal ext4 (or

Anything Debian based. Ubuntu LTS releases are a good choice, although
you may want to start with 11.10 and upgrade to 12.04 LTS when it's

You need to backup:
Code:

Except the cache dir in var, it's ok to backup but not necessary.
