Backup And General Maintenance - EUROCOM D800P Dream Machine User Manual

Backup and General Maintenance

• Always backup your important data, and keep copies of your OS and programs safe, but close to
hand. Don't forget to note the serial numbers if you are storing them out of their original cases
e.g. in a CD wallet.
• Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you can. You may schedule
these programs to run at times when you are not using your computer. You can use those which
are provided free with your OS, or buy the more powerful dedicated programs to do so.
• Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your computer). This is especially
important if you choose to use a Startup password for the BIOS (see
13).
• Keep copies of vital settings files such as network, dialup settings, mail settings etc. (even if just
brief notes).
