Backing up your work

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure
all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops glowing)
and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
CAUTION: Do not pick up the computer by its display panel
or by the back (where the ports are located).
Although your notebook computer is built to withstand reasonable
shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case for long trips.
You can purchase a carrying case from your Toshiba dealer,
through the accessories information packaged with your system,
or visit toshiba.com.
Backing up your work
Your computer comes with Recovery CDs that enables you to
reinstall software that was preinstalled. These CDs can be used to
install or reinstall particular Toshiba applications, utilities, and
drivers. Back up all the files you create in case something happens
to your computer. If you have a network partition, you can hold
copies of your files there.
Alternatively, you can back up your files to diskette one at a time
as you are working on them.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft® Windows®
backup program preinstalled on the computer’s hard disk.
Complete information on the backup program is in the online
Help and your Windows® documentation.
