Have you backed up your files lately?

I just heard about a colleague’s computer crashing. This is the 4th time I’ve heard of this in the last few days. Computer CrashThis serves as a reminder to us all. If you haven’t backed up your files, this would be a good time to do it.

Here are some suggestions.

  1. Drag and drop your important files on to your W drive. Be sure to log in to your computer and then click on “My Computer.” You’ll see your W drive on the list just at the letters.
  2. Save your files to a thumb drive / flashdrive. If you plug your thumbdrive in to your computer and it doesn’t recognize it, try this. Disk Management
  3. Share everything! Then if you loose your copy, your friends will have copies.
  4. Back up your files weekly.

How do you back up your files? Or better yet, what do you do to remind yourself to backup your files?
