Your computer is as good as your last backup!
Just imagine that you are hustling to finish your project or have just completed it and confidently saved it on your computer and the unthinkable happens – yes, your computer crashes. It cuts off just like that and refuses to boot. Perhaps the project was your final thesis! Now you are desperate and wished you had a magic wand to wave your computer back up and running. Well there is such a magic wand. It is called a backup. You don’t have to purchase expensive backup software or spend hours searching for free software that can do the job. Right on your computer has a simple yet very powerful backup program that can backup your entire system with all your data. This backup can be used to restore your system to its prior state before the crash.
All you basically need is a floppy disk and a floppy drive to put it in, the CD that you used to create Windows Operating System (e.g. your windows Xp CD) and somewhere to store the backup. If you don’t have a floppy drive, because new computers and laptops don’t usually come with one, you can use a USB floppy drive. The backup procedure which I shall explain in my next post is specifically for Windows Xp.
