How do you backup computer files?
Posted on April 20th, 2010 by Nick Kurentz
How do you backup a computer? I’ve heard people talking about backing up your computer, in case it crashes or something, but I’m not sure how to do it properly. Do you just use floppy disk/CD/flashdrive and manually copy all the files you have on your computer? Or should you use eternal hard drive or something like that? And what can you backup?

Usually I pack files into “.rar” files with WINRAR, and make a copy or copies on DVD-Rs or CD-Rs.
Does your computer gear any Disc-Recorder?
there is a computer command to backup files
Try using Vision Backup at http://www.vwsolutions.com. They have a free 30-day trial.
open start menu then programs then accessories then system tools then u will find the backup tool there. back up the part that you want into a safe place on your harddisk or u can burn it into a cd or dvd. or you can a program that makes an image of your hard disk like norton ghost so all u need in case of crash is restore the fresh copy that you have
I backup files and information (text documents) specially small ones into a folder created by me. I compress into several zip files (.zip) regularly. I use Backup Assistant, (C) Joel Graffman, version 2.1. I have to use it with care, since I must not delete any files from the hard drives, because if I do so, in subsecuent backups with this software the zip files overwrites the entries, deleting them also form the zip file… Every once in a while I copy those zip files to a CD-RW. And also, with some important and small files, I just email them to my Yahoo email which works like a virtual memmory or so… for hundreds of files to be stored in the yahoo email service. You can also backup documents with your regular Microsoft backup (found in properties — Tools of your hard disks) which is compatible with versions of modern Windows Operating Systems.
I found out aditional help for you: Try to backup information ONLY at, lets say, 12:00 M and try to recheck that you backed up every thing you needed ONLY at 9:00 PM. This is for reasons of organization. Keep a special text file that you can name ‘List to backup.txt’ containing a list of files and zip files that you normally backup. You can mark with ‘//’ all files that you already backed up. And unmark them, in this list, if they have changed and need to be backed up again. Good luck.
