Back Up Your Data


Return to Techie Tips Home Page


Back up anything and everything you do not want to lose as often as you need to assure you will not lose it.  CD and DVD burners are common components on most computers today.  The price of CD’s and DVD’s are relatively inexpensive and are good choices when backing up.  You can also backup data to a USB Pen drive.  Floppy disks are not reliable media for backups.  If working on an important document that you would prefer not to recreate, backup that document on a regular basis.  In addition, you can email it to yourself.  Emailing will put a copy in another location that is off site, which is good practice for backing up.
