How to Back Up Your Work on Diskettes
Murphy's law applies to everything—even computers. Therefore,
it's a good idea to make periodic copies of everything on your
computer's hard disk and store them in a safe place. This is called
backing up your files. That way, if you somehow press the
Delete
key accidentally, you'll be able to recover your files quickly and
easily.

Your computer comes with Microsoft's Windows 95 backup pro-
gram pre-installed on the hard disk. Other backup programs are
available at many computer stores.
