There are numerous
ways you can lose the information on your computer. Your child decides to play
Chopin on your keyboard, a power surge, lightening, a virus, or even simple
equipment failure. Therefore, backing up the contents of your hard drive is an
absolute MUST. By regularly making
backup copies of your files and storing them in a separate location, you can
typically get some, if not all, of your information back in the event your computer
crashes.
While a regular
backup to floppy, CD, or zip drive will save your files, wouldn’t it be great
if you could create an exact copy (a drive image) of your hard disk? That means backups of all your files,
programs, and user settings. This would
definitely save you time when it came to reloading. Acronis may be able to help.
