www.gateway.com Backing up files Backing up files and removing them from the hard drive frees space for new files on the hard drive. It also protects you from losing important information if the hard drive fails or you accidentally delete files. You should back up your files regularly to a writable optical disc (if you have a recordable drive). Use a backup device, such as a recordable disc drive, to do a complete hard drive backup. If you do not have a high-capacity backup device and you want to purchase one, you can visit www.gateway.com. Help For more information about backing up files, click Start, then click Help and Support. Type back up in the Search box, then press ENTER. Scheduling maintenance tasks The Scheduled Task Wizard lets you schedule maintenance tasks such as running Disk Defragmenter and checking your drives for errors. Important Your computer must be on during scheduled tasks. If your computer is off, scheduled tasks will not run. To start the Scheduled Task Wizard: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then click Scheduled Tasks. The Scheduled Tasks window opens. 93
