Automated
Backup Many
software programs have automatic or short-cut methods to backup your data.
Manuals for accounting packages or database programs generally contain these
procedures. "SAVE
AS" Programs
such as Microsoft Word or Excel usually offer a “Save As” function under the
File menu button. This is different than the standard “Save” function as it
allows you to save a copy of you file under a different name and in a
different location. “Save as” enables you to save a copy of your document to
a floppy disc or other removable media. Burn it
to CD If
you keep all your documents in a single location, such as in the file “my
documents”, you can easily use a CD-RW (Compact Disc – Read / Write) writer
to create or “burn” a CD backup on a regular basis. Most CD-RW drives come
with basic writing software that can direct you through the process. Tape
Drives For
those needing a more industrial or automated backup system (ideal for small
businesses), we recommend investing in a tape drive. These drives can be set
to automatically save copies of your important document folders or databases
to a tape that won’t be damaged by power surges or other computer failures. Have
more questions? Contact a TRISEC Computer Services Technician
for more information.
