Backing up files
Backing up files and removing them from the hard drive frees space for new files on the hard
drive. It also protects you from losing important information if the hard drive fails or you
accidentally delete files.
You should back up your files regularly to a writable optical disc (if you have a recordable drive).
Use a backup device, such as a recordable disc drive, to do a complete hard drive backup. If
you do not have a high-capacity backup device and you want to purchase one, you can visit the
Accessories Store at
www.gateway.com .
