Backing Up Files - Gateway MT6709h User Manual

Backing up files

Backing up files and removing them from the hard drive frees space for new files on the hard
drive. It also protects you from losing important information if the hard drive fails or you
accidentally delete files.
You should back up your files regularly to a writable optical disc (if you have a recordable drive).
Use a backup device, such as a recordable disc drive, to do a complete hard drive backup.
