Backing up and recovering your information

It is very important to back up your files and keep any new software in a safe place. As you add new software and data files, continue to create backups on a regular basis.

How completely you are able to recover your system depends on how recent your backup is.

NOTE: A recovery from your most recent backup needs to be performed if the computer has a virus attack or if any major system components fail. In order to correct computer issues, a recovery should first be attempted before a system restore is attempted.
