Save your work frequently.
You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing you to
close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many software
programs build in an automatic backup, but you should not rely
solely on this feature. Save your work! See “Computing tips” on
page 95 for instructions.
On a regular basis, back up the information stored on your
internal storage drive.
Use Windows
®
to back up files, or the entire computer, to an optical
disc, or external hard disk. Here are some ways you can do this:
❖ Use the Windows
®
operating system to back up files or your
entire computer to an optical disc, or external hard disk.
❖ Copy files to a rewritable external storage device.
❖ Connect your computer to the office network and copy files to
your network partition.
