Backing Up Your Work

Imagine losing your passport the day before you're due to fly back home. It's a
nightmare we all dread, so when we travel we usually keep a pretty close eye
on it. Yet often when we're working on a computer, we never really consider
losing all our data the day before an important presentation!
It's a fact of life that computers sometimes go wrong. It's also a fact of life that
people make mistakes and accidentally delete things, and that natural disasters
occur! If any one of these were to strike, it could spell disaster for your
business. That's why you should make backing up your work a fact of life.
Hewlett-Packard realizes the devastating effects the loss of data can have on
smaller businesses, and has integrated several quick, easy-to-use options into
the HP Brio PC. This gives you a peace of mind and security, previously only
available to larger companies with a dedicated backup department.

Backup Utilities

The backup utilities available to you depend on your particular configuration of HP Brio PC.
Note
HP offers a number of different solutions for backing up the data on your HP
Brio PC, such as a ZIP drive, tape backup, or a remote backup service. For
further information, refer to the Protect Your Data window, or contact your
local reseller.

Scanning for Viruses

Imagine your HP Brio PC suddenly began acting strangely, or even worse data
began disappearing! Such events can be caused by a virus.
If you use floppy disks from other people, or download material from the
Internet, there is always the potential for a computer virus to infect your HP
Brio PC.
