I just heard about a colleague’s computer crashing. This is the 4th time I’ve heard of this in the last few days. 
This 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Share everything! Then if you loose your copy, your friends will have copies.
- 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?
