Backup Utilities
Using Backup Devices
To retrieve files that may have been lost or damaged, you should
back up your files regularly with a backup utility.
A backup utility will protect your data from accidental loss
because of a hardware or media failure by creating a duplicate
copy of the data on your hard drive on another storage device
such as a floppy disk, a tape drive, or another hard drive. In the
event that the original data on your hard drive is accidentally
erased or overwritten or becomes inaccessible because of a hard
drive malfunction, you can easily restore your data from the
backed up copy.
Backup utilities allow you to back up all the files on your
Notebook or select specific files and folders. For a partial backup
of selected files or folders, save to floppy disks. For a complete
hard drive backup, use backup devices such as tape drives,
external hard drives, or other high-capacity backup devices.
