Backing up your work

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make
sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops
glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Although your notebook computer is built to withstand
reasonable shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case
for long trips. You can purchase a carrying case from your
Toshiba dealer, through the accessories information packaged
with your system, or visit accessories.toshiba.com.
Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens to
your computer. If you have a network partition, you can hold
copies of your files there.
Alternatively, you can back up your files to diskette one at a
time as you are working on them.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
Windows
hard disk.
Complete information on the backup program is in the online
Help and your Windows
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the
back (where the ports are located).
®
backup program preinstalled on the computer's
HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk takes a

prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an
external tape drive.
