Backing Up Your Data Files
You can protect the data on your computer from accidental loss or hardware failures by using the Backup tool. Backup enables you to easily copy programs, disks, and data onto a tape drive for preservation. Backup also makes it easy for you to archive data for legal or historical purposes and to safely remove older, unused files from your hard disk.

Note: Before you can back up your files, you must first install a tape drive, using the Tape Devices option in Control Panel.

To open Backup:

1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then Administrative Tools. 2. Click Backup.

From this window you can select files to back up, check the status of your backup, and set various options.
