Backing Up
Your Files
You can use Microsoft
Backup to back up files to
the hard disk, diskettes, a
Zip disk, CD-RW, or
another computer on your
network.
If your original files are
damaged or lost, you can
restore them from the
backup.
It is a good idea to run
Microsoft Backup before
deleting files from the hard
disk. If you accidentally
delete an important file, it
can be retrieved from the
back-up file.
