Backing up your files

Backing up your files
Backing up your files means copying individual files to
media, such as CD, or copying entire sections of your hard
disk to another device, such as a tape drive.
For those systems with a writable optional drive, you may
back up file to a CD as follows:
1 To back up to a CD or other media, insert the media into
the appropriate drive.
2 Click Start, then click My Computer.
3 Click the drive that contains the file you want to copy.
4 Double-click the folder that contains the file, then click
the file you want to copy.
5 Click File, then click Send To.

Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive

Optical storage has become the preferred medium for
software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs)
provide a significant increase in data storage and support
features that are not available on any other video platform.
These features include wide-screen movies, multiple
language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera
angles, and interactive menus.
For these reasons, your computer may come with a DVD-
ROM drive or a multi-function drive.
HINT: You can use the Ctrl or Shift keys to select more than
one file.
