Backup media

There are many possibilities for storing your backup copies. You can always make a copy of your important files on your own hard drive. A good place for this would be in your Documents folder or Home folder. Usually it is a good idea to back up files to an external location where they are safe if anything should happen to your hard drive and you lose your original files. This could be an external hard drive, a flash drive, a zip disk, or any other remote storage device. It is wise, from time to time, to make a "hard" copy on a CD or DVD for permanent storage since even an external hard drive can crash causing data loss. Thgis is easy with the Burn folder choice. You can also make a Dated archive folder and zip or stuff compress it for later retrieval.
