Backing up your data or your entire
computer with the Windows
®
operating
system
The most valuable component of your computer system is
the data you create and store on its internal storage drive.
Since problems with either hardware or software can make
the data inaccessible or even destroy it, the next most
valuable component of your computer system may be a
recent backup of your data.
Fortunately, the Windows
®
operating system offers a
convenient way to back up your computer or just your
important files to optional external writable optical disc
drives, or hard drives. An external hard drive is
recommended in case the internal storage drive fails. No
additional software is required. Most of the optical disc
drives built into recent Toshiba portable computer models
can write to (or ‘burn’) as well as read from optical discs.
External optical disc writers are also widely available.
