It is that Time of Year. Back Up Your Data.
I am reposting a post I made a year ago.
With the whole year ahead of us, you might want to consider backing up important files on your home and work computer. If you ever save a file to your Desktop or other place on your local hard-drive, there is a chance that it is not included in nightly Network back-ups. Microsoft has a short article on the subject at:
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/data/what.mspx
Windows XP Professional, XP Home and Windows Vista all have a built-in back-up utility. You can read more about it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/data/backup.mspx Instructions for making manual back-up copies are included in the article.
And then, once you have backed up your files, you need to protect your back-up files. You can read more about it here: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/data/tips.mspx
You can read about different external storage options at: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/data/storage.mspx
There are also online storage options available:
