Making backup copies
Backing up files from a hard disc
Obviously, this only applies if your computer has a hard disc fitted.
If you have any files on your hard disc that you can't afford to lose, it's a good idea to
keep backup copies of them on a floppy disc, in case your hard disc develops any
errors. This can happen during the lifetime of a hard disc, but don't worry, it's not
usually catastrophic! The RISC OS 3 User and Applications Guide tells you what to do
if you do get any errors from your hard disc.
Format a blank floppy disc, and copy any important files from your hard disc onto it (
see Copying (and moving) a file to another directory on page 51). Then rename your
floppy disc to remind you what's on it.
