Hello he can anyone help me I am new to computers I keep on hearing people
saying you should back up your data I am running Microsoft Windows Xp home
think you
Unfortunately no matter how careful you are problems do occur either by
inadvertent actions by you or due to external factors that are outside of
your control. Therefore, it is essential that you have a means to recover
from those events if you have anything of value on your machine. Generally,
only data requires to be backed up as your 'data' is irreplaceable.
Programs and the like can be reloaded. However, from a convenience point of
view most would agree that creating am 'image' of your drives, such that in
the event of a problem the system (OS, Programs and data) can be restored to
the condition it was when the 'image' was created. Likely the most popular
of 'imaging' programs is Acronis True Image but there are others as well as
'ntbackup' that is found on the WINXP cd. These programs allow you to
backup all data and programs onto either an external HD or to CDs and DVD
discs. You must backup to media that is external to the machine otherwise
much of the point of 'backing up' is lost.
Hope this helps.
