Learning the Basics

Backing up your work

Backing up your work

Back up all the files you create in case something happens to your
computer. You can back up your files to different types of media
such as CDs, DVDs, external storage media, or to a network, if
available.

To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft

®

Windows

®

Backup program preinstalled on the computer’s internal storage
drive. Also see

“Backing up your data or your entire computer with

the Windows

®

operating system” on page 126

.

HINT: Backing up all the files on your internal storage drive may take
a considerable amount of time and multiple CDs/DVDs. You may
prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an external
hard drive.

Restoring your work

To restore information from your backup media to your internal
storage drive, use the Restore option in the Windows

®

Backup and

Restore program. Look in the online Help or your operating system
documentation for information on restoring files.

TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program
prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the
internal storage drive. Make sure the backup version is the one you
want before overwriting the existing file.
