Backing up files
Backing up files and removing them from the hard drive frees space for new
files on the hard drive. It also protects you from losing important information
if the hard drive fails or you accidentally delete files.
You should back up your files regularly to a writable CD (if you have a CD-R
or CD-RW drive) or to diskettes. Use a backup device, such as a CD-R, CD-RW,
or Zip drive, to do a complete hard drive backup. If you do not have a
high-capacity backup device and you want to purchase one, you can contact
Gateway’s Add-on Sales department or visit our Web site at www.gateway.com.
