I'm looking to install Arch Linux but I want to make sure I don't lose any of my data in the process. What are the best ways to go about this? Any tips or tricks for safely doing the installation?

Making two partitions could work well! You can install Arch on one and keep your data on the other. Just ensure that the data partition is not affected during the installation.
In a clean install scenario, it's best to transfer your important files to an external drive before you start. After installing Arch, you can move your saved data back to your new setup.
One way to keep your data safe is to back it up to an external drive or use a separate disk partition. Just make sure that the partition you keep your data on remains untouched during the installation.
