Protection You Can
Afford
By James Williams
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.

wizards which can
walk you through
both backing up and
restoring your
computer.
