107 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft® Windows® backup program preinstalled on the computer's hard disk. Also see "Backing up your data to CDs with Windows XP" on page 217. HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk may take a considerable amount of time and multiple CDs/DVDs. You may prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an external hard drive. Small files can be backed up on diskettes if an optional external diskette drive is available. Restoring your work To restore information from your backup media to your hard disk, use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in the online Help or your operating system documentation for information on restoring files. TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the hard disk. Make sure the backup version is the one you want before overwriting the existing file. Powering down the computer Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the system indicator panel's disk light and the drive-in use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
