On a regular basis, back up the information stored

Use Windows to back up files, or the entire computer, to a

Copy files to a rewritable external storage device.
❖
Connect your computer to the office network and copy

up all files weekly and copying critical files to external media
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 internal storage
