Back It Up For Safe Keeping!

here are more people lately that are lamenting when their computer crashes and they "lose everything."
Well, the reason for this is they never thought that the computer would die......duh.....a machine so wimpy as a computer and so many glitches in the operating systems...I could go on and on.....

So my advice,   get a USB Drive with a few Gigs of space on it or use an External Hard Drive and get
crackin".....don't install the software that comes with the drive though....Windows has its own built in backup and you can do that this way (Windows 7)
CONTROL PANEL
SYSTEM AND SECURITY
BACKUP YOUR COMPUTER
From there follow the prompts on how you want to back it up....you can do a whole system image which means you can restore your whole operating system with all files from that backup ( this is used for a complete hard drive crash)
If you just want to backup files there are options for that and you can set the schedule and everything...
I personally just slip the external usb or drive in when I want to back up stuff.....rather than keep it running all the time....your choice....

Now, when stuff happens.....you are ready for it and will be one happy cat!
