Develop good computing habits

Save your work frequently.
You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing
you to close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many
software programs build in an automatic backup, but you
should not rely solely on this feature. Save your work! See
"Computing tips" on page 65
On a regular basis, back up the information stored
on your internal storage drive.
Use Windows
optical disc, or external hard disk. Here are some ways you
can do this:
❖
Use the Windows
your entire computer to an optical disc, or external hard
disk.
❖
Copy files to a rewritable external storage device.
❖
Connect your computer to the office network and copy
files to your network partition.
Some people use a combination of these methods, backing
up all files weekly and copying critical files to external media
on a daily basis.
If you have installed your own programs, you should back up
these programs as well as your data files. If something goes
wrong that requires you to reformat your internal storage
drive and start again, reloading all your programs and data
files from a backup source will save time.
