What Files Are Important To You; How Often Should You Or Safe & Sound Make Backups - McAfee STUDENT SURVIVAL KIT 1.0-GETTING STARTED Getting Started

NOTE: If your data usually resides on a server, you can make a local
copy so you can access data even when the server goes down.

What Files are Important to You?

Safe & Sound automatically selects files that are typically important to include
in a backup set. However, you can select other files or types of files to include
in your backup set.
In addition, you can create multiple backup sets of data for particular
purposes. Each of these backup sets can be created when and where you
specify. They can each include exactly the files or types of files that you choose.
For example, you might create individual backup sets for each of your clients
if you produce data for clients that is stored on your computer, such as
advertising layouts, graphic images, books, or accounting data.
How Often Should You or Safe & Sound Make Backups?
The more recent your backup set, the happier you'll be if your PC does
encounter a problem that compromises the data on your primary drives.
However, you may want to keep the default Write-behind Delay of 20 minutes
to give you time to recover a previous version of a file if you ever need to.
TIP: Save early, save often. While working in applications, you can
almost always press C
you save your work, the less you have to lose at any given point in time.
You may also want to be sure the auto-save option is selected in your
applications for more frequent backups.
