Backup and General Maintenance
• Always backup your important data, and keep copies of your OS and
programs safe, but close to hand. Don’t forget to note the serial num-
bers if you are storing them out of their original cases e.g. in a CD wal-
let.
• Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you
can. You may schedule these programs to run at times when you are
not using your computer. You can use those which are provided free
with your OS, or buy the more powerful dedicated programs to do so.
• Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your com-
puter). This is especially important if you choose to use a Startup
password for the BIOS (see “Security Menu” on page 5 - 14).
• Keep copies of vital settings files such as network, dialup settings,
mail settings etc. (even if just brief notes).
