Backup and general Maintenance
• Always backup your important data and keep copies of your operating system
and software safe. Don’t forget to note the Serial numbers if you are storing
them outside of their original cases - e.g. in a CD Wallet.
• Run maintenance programs as often as you can. You may schedule these
programs to run at times when you are not using your HD Entertainment
Center. You can use those provided with your OS, or buy more powerful,
dedicated programs to do so.
• Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your HD
Entertainment Center). This is especially important if you choose to password-
protect your system’s BIOS and operating system.
• Document vital settings such as network, dialup, mail, and internet settings.
