So now we have come to the point in our home computer repair questing, that we need to know what a backup is and also how to do it. A backup of your computer would round off what we have learned so far.
Why do we need to back our home pc? The obvious answer is because what if something goes wrong and our Hard Drive gets fried, or even worse what if a fire starts and torches everything in the computer room. Lets not get into what could happen, I’m sure you know of someone in their life that said, “oh I wish I had a backup because I lost everything!!!”
Well this is not going to be us. What we are going to do is learn how to backup our important files to either a CD using our home computer burner, or copy files onto an external hard drive, that we keep in an external location from our computer. Never keep your external hard drive permanently near your computer for the obvious reasons. After you do your back, put it somewhere else in the house, a very safe and cool place.
If you know where the files are located that you need to back up then start doing so on your computer computer. If you do not, then we will go over that next time, so tune in.
