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
page
116. 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.
