Backup Utilities

Using Backup Devices

To retrieve files that may have been lost or damaged, you should back up your files regularly to diskettes or other backup media.

You can back up all the files on your Notebook or you can select specific files and folders. Use diskettes to do a partial backup of selected files or folders.

Use backup devices such as tape drives or other high-capacity backup devices to do a complete hard-drive backup.
