Backing up files
Backing up files and removing them from the hard drive frees space for new
files on the hard drive. It also protects you from losing important information
if the hard drive fails or you accidentally delete files.
You should back up your files regularly to a writable CD (if you have a
DVD/CD-RW drive) or to diskettes (if you have a diskette drive). Use a backup
device, such as a DVD/CD-RW drive or Zip drive, to do a complete hard drive
backup. For more information, see “Creating CDs” on page 100. If you do not
have a high-capacity backup device and you want to purchase one, you can
contact Gateway’s Add-on Sales department or visit the Accessories Store at
accessories.gateway.com .
Using the Scheduled Task Wizard
The Scheduled Task Wizard lets you schedule maintenance tasks such as
running Disk Defragmenter and Error-checking.
