96 Learning the Basics Backing up your files ❖ Keep diskettes at room temperature and do not expose them to direct sunlight. Otherwise data may be lost. ❖ Do not place heavy objects on your diskettes. ❖ Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign particles can damage the diskette's surface. ❖ Keep your diskettes away from sources of magnetism, such as speakers and radios, since these can destroy data.
