File Management and Data Backup
What happens when a power outage or user error causes you to lose information (data files) from your computer? Usually PANIC.
Should your computer hard disk become unusable or crash, the Department of Information Technology has the ability to reload the standard programs, such as Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and Netscape. But what about the individual documents and databases you have created on your machine? The IT department does not have copies of these files.
The IT Department strongly suggests that you save all your files on your hard drive, specifically in the C:\My Documents folder. You should be backing up everything you save on your hard drive to some type of removable disk, either a floppy or zip disk on a routine basis.
If you need help organizing your C:\My Documents folder into subfolders and backing up your data, attend one of the Short Courses offered by the Help Desk, File Management/Data BackUp.
