Backing up your information

Successful recovery after a system failure depends on whether you have completely backed up your
files. You should create your initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software
and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably
current backup.
You can back up individual files or folders to an external hard drive (purchased separately).

When to back up

● On a regularly scheduled basis.
●
Before the device is repaired or restored.
●
Before you add or modify hardware or software.

Backup suggestions

Store personal files in the My Documents folder and back up this folder regularly.
●
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.

Save customized settings that appear in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot
of your settings. The screen shot can be a time saver if you have to reset your preferences.
