Backing up files
Regularly backing up your files protects you from losing data and lets you
keep fewer files on your hard drive. Back up old files to a large capacity disk
drive or tape drive and delete the files from your hard drive. You can use the
software that came with your tape backup drive or your large capacity disk
drive to back up the files.
You can also back up files by running the Backup utility that came with your
operating system. In Windows NT, Backup copies files to a tape drive.
To run Backup in Windows NT:
1
Click
Start

Programs

Follow the on-screen instructions.
