What is meant by Backing Up a file?
Backing up a file means creating a copy of all the files on your system, to another drive. It is very important to backup periodically, all the files on your computer. If something happens to your programs, you can always reinstall them from the copy. If something happens to your data and you do not have a backup copy, you are in a pickle. How often you backup depends on how important the data is to you. There are several ways to back up. You can back up to floppy disks, to another hard drive, to a special tape backup drive, or to a completely separate backup system such as a large, removable storage device. Be sure to put your backup copies in a safe place away from your computer. In case of a disaster, you will want your backup copies in a secure location.
