Backup and General Maintenance
• Always backup your important data, and keep copies of your OS and programs safe, but close to hand.
Don’t forget to note the serial numbers if you are storing them out of their original cases, e.g. in a CD wal-
let.
• Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you can. You may schedule these pro-
grams to run at times when you are not using your computer. You can use those that are provided free with
your OS, or buy the more powerful dedicated programs to do so.
• Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your computer). This is especially important if
you choose to use a Boot password for the SCU (see “Setup Utility - Security Menu” on page 5 - 16 ).
• Keep copies of vital settings files such as network, dialup settings, mail settings etc. (even if just brief
notes).
