Who is responsible for backing up data on individual machines?
Users should be aware that a number of hardware and software problems can cause data corruption on storage devices, such as hard disks or floppy disks. Each user is responsible for maintaining backup copies of important data on a secondary media source. If your computer fails and the operating system or other software needs to be reinstalled, you must use your original software disks to restore your system. If you do not have original or backup software disks, you will have to repurchase software to restore your system. We cannot install or distribute commercially licensed software without appropriate proof-of ownership as described in the license agreement for each product.
