Maintaining Data Integrity

We have engineered the best solutions available to ensure the safety of
your data. However, only you can take full responsibility for the integrity
of your computing environment. Whether you are a computing profes-
sional or a home user, you should always:
• Regularly back up the data stored on your disks
• Prevent computer viruses from entering your system.
Backing up your data
Backing up your data is an essential task, the importance of which cannot
be emphasized too highly. Backing up is the duplication of data files and
applications from one data storage medium onto another. Perform back-
ups to a secondary medium to protect against the loss of valuable data in
the event that harm should somehow occur to the primary medium.
Many people don't back up because they don't want to be bothered. Hav-
ing good software with an unattended backup scheduling feature elimi-
nates the bother. Backup is essential!
