Creating a Back Up

If you own a computer then you have to learn how to back up your files. Just think of what you could lose if you didn't. Below are a few examples of what can be lost when you do not have a back up in place.

Homework assignments - It can be devastating for someone in high-school or college to work hard to put together an assignment and then lose it without warning to computer breakdown.

Pictures of loved ones - We all know how precious our pictures of loved ones are. These pictures often cannot be replaced.

Home-based businesses - It can mean the end to a business when you experience something as tragic as a computer crash or other disaster that renders you unable to work. Down time can hurt the best of businesses but re-building can be worse. When you back up regularly you can rely on your back up system to ensure that you can easily get back up and running.

Backing up Procedure
Files can be saved onto CD, disk or any other high capacity removable media. Just establish how often you will need to back up. For some it may be monthly, while others may need to back up weekly or even daily.

Emergency Back-up
If your computer has been acting funny you need to back up right away or as soon as possible. At this point you should temporarily discard your back-up schedule because you may be on the verge of a breakdown in the near future.

Your computer may show signs that a breakdown will soon occur or it can happen suddenly and take you completely by surprise. You have to be ready for a potential disaster at any given time.
