There are many ways you can unintentionally lose information
on a computer. A child playing the keyboard like a piano,
a power surge, lightning, floods, accidental deletion and
sometimes equipment just fails.
If you regularly make backup copies of your files and keep
them in a separate place, you can get some, if not all, of
your information back in the event something happens to the
originals on your computer.
Deciding what to back up is highly personal. Anything you
cannot replace easily should be at the top of your list. Before
you get started, make a checklist of files to back up. This
will help you determine what to back up, and also give you
a reference list in the event you need to retrieve a backed-up
file. Here are some file suggestions to get you started:
- Bank records and other financial information
- Digital photographs
- Software you purchased and downloaded from the Internet
- Music you purchased and downloaded from the Internet
- Personal projects
- Your e-mail address book
- Your Microsoft Outlook calendar
- Your Internet Explorer bookmarks
If you haven't already decided where you want to store
your backup copies-external hard disk drive, CDs, DVDs,
or some other storage format-and you want to know more about
your options, you then call PC-Klinic.co.uk. We will help
you decide what you should back up.
