how do I back up my files?
You can create backups of your important data to protect you if you accidentally
delete a file or a file becomes corrupt. Or you can make disaster recovery
diskettes and a complete backup of your entire computer system to use in case
your computer crashes. Use Simple Backup to make any type of backup.
