Backing up

Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. You should create your
initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you should
continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.

In Windows XP Professional, use the Windows Backup utility to create a backup. Click Start > All
Programs
> Accessories > System Tools > Backup. Follow the on-screen instructions to back up
your files.

In Windows XP Home, copy data files to a USB external hard drive (purchased separately).
