In a perfect world, everyone would have an automatic backup system for the entire computer; however, for most of us, using several hundred diskettes to back up the whole computer is impractical. In this case, it makes sense to save important files to specific folders and target those folders for backup.

To Backup Important Files:

1. Place a disk in the A drive or use another floppy disk such as a Zip disk.
   
   
2. Close all programs
   
   
3. Left-click start
   
   
4. Highlight Programs
   
   
5. Go to Windows Explorer
   
   
6. Left-click on the Drive you want to copy from
   
   
7. Left-click on the Folder you want to copy and then left-click the file you want to back-up
   
   
8. Right-click on file and select copy

   

    

9. Left-click on Drive where you want the copy to be stored
   
   

10. Right-click and select paste. You will now see the selected file copied into selected destination area.
