Learning the Basics
Backing up your work
Backing up your work
Your computer comes with a Configuration Builder CD that
enables you to reinstall software that was preinstalled. This CD
can be used to install or reinstall particular Toshiba applications,
utilities, and drivers. However, you need to back up all the files
you create in case something happens to your computer. If you
have a network partition, you can hold copies of your files there.
Alternatively, you can back up your files to diskette one at a time
as you are working on them.
To back up several files at one time, use Microsoft’s Windows
backup program preinstalled on the computer’s hard disk.
Complete information on the backup program is in the online
Help and your Windows documentation.
HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk takes a
considerable amount of time and many diskettes. You may
prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an
external tape drive.
Restoring your work
To restore information from your backup media to your hard disk,
use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in the online
Help or your operating system documentation for information on
restoring files.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup
program prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that
already exists on the hard disk. Make sure the backup
version is the one you want before overwriting the existing
file.
