Save your work frequently.<br />
You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing you to<br />
close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many software<br />
programs build in an automatic backup, but you should not rely<br />
solely on this feature. Save your work! See “Computing tips” on<br />
page 95 for instructions.<br />
On a regular basis, back up the information stored on your<br />
internal storage drive.<br />
Use Windows ® to back up files, or the entire computer, to an optical<br />
disc, or external hard disk. Here are some ways you can do this:<br />
❖ Use the Windows ® operating system to back up files or your<br />
entire computer to an optical disc, or external hard disk.<br />
❖ Copy files to a rewritable external storage device.<br />
❖ Connect your computer to the office network and copy files to<br />
your network partition.
