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 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.
