Backing up your files
Backing up your files means copying individual files to a
diskette or copying entire sections of your hard disk to
another device, such as a tape drive.
For those systems with a floppy disk drive, you may back up
file to a floppy disk as follows:
1 Insert a diskette into the diskette drive.
2 Click Start, then click My Computer.
3 Click the drive that contains the file you want to copy.
4 Double-click the folder that contains the file, then click
the file you want to copy.
HINT: You can use the Ctrl or Shift keys to select more than
one file. To select multiple consecutive files, hold down the
Shift key and click the first and then the last file (all files within
that range will be highlighted). To select non-consecutive files,
hold down the
Ctrl key and click the individual files you want
to select.
5 Click File, then click Send To.
6 Click the icon for the diskette drive (3 1/2 floppy [A:]).
HINT: You can also back up a file to a diskette by clicking the
file (or files) you want to backup with the secondary button,
then pointing to Send To and clicking 3 1/2 Floppy (A:).
