Backing up your information Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. You should create system repair discs (select models only) by using the installed optical drive (select models only) or an optional external optical drive, and your initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.

Your initial and subsequent backups allow you to restore your data and settings if a failure occurs. You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs. 48 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery
