Make sure you are prepared.

You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing 
you to close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many 
software programs build in an automatic backup, but you 
should not rely solely on this feature. Save your work! See 

 for instructions.

Here are some ways you can do this:

❖

Copy files to diskette, following the steps in 

❖

Connect a tape drive to the system and use specialized 
software to copy everything on the hard disk to a tape.

Some people use a combination of these methods, backing up 
all files to tape weekly and copying critical files to diskette on 
a daily basis.

If you have installed your own programs, you should back up 
these programs as well as your data files. If something goes 
wrong that requires you to reformat your hard disk and start 
again, reloading all your programs and data files from a 
backup source will save time.

It’s very difficult to provide a fail-safe set of steps you can 
follow every time you experience a problem with the 
computer. Your ability to solve problems will improve as you 
learn about how the computer and its software work together.

Get familiar with all the user’s guides provided with your 
computer, as well as the manuals that come with the 
programs and devices you purchase.
