To back up your data
Making a backup copy of your data is extremely important. If you do not make
the backup copy, you will lose various data stored on your hard disk, such as
documents or pictures, due to unexpected events or computer viruses. It is
strongly recommended to make the backup copy on a daily basis.
There are three options to make a backup copy of your data.
❑
Use the
Back Up Files
wizard.
You can make a backup copy of your data to a CD, DVD or removal
media, such as an external hard disk drive.
For instructions on how to use this wizard, see “To make a backup copy
of your file with the Back Up Files wizard” on page 17.
❑
Use the
Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore
feature
(available on models with
Windows Vista Ultimate
or
Windows Vista Business
only).
You can make a backup copy of everything on your computer including
the programs, system settings, and files on the computer. You can
restore your computer system to the state when you made the backup
copy.
For instructions on how to use this feature, see “To make a backup copy
of your file with the Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore feature”
on page 18.
❑
Create a restore point.
Your computer may become unstable or slow after installing new
software or changing the Windows settings. In such cases, you can use
a restore point to restore your computer system to a previous state.
For instructions on how to create a restore point, see “To create a restore
point” on page 20.
If an optical disc drive is not installed on your computer, you need an external hard
disk drive or optical disc drive to make a backup copy of your data or need to create a
new partition by changing the size of the C drive.
For instructions on how to create a hard disk partition, see “Creating a hard disk
partition” on page 34.
