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 81 for instructions. On a regular basis, back up the information stored on your hard disk. Here are some ways you can do this: ❖ Copy files to an external storage device. ❖ Connect an optical drive to the system and use specialized software to copy everything on the hard disk to an optical disc. ❖ 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 to tape weekly and copying critical files to diskette 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 hard disk and start again, reloading all your programs and data files from a backup source will save time.
