No matter how new or safe you believe your computer is, you must keep disaster prevention in mind when working with sensitive data. You should always create one or more backups of important files, programs, reports and documents, separate from the data saved to your computer’s hard drive. Windows 7 allows you to make your own backup discs using the Backup and Restore feature. If data becomes corrupt, or your hard drive fails, you will be able to restore your data from the disc without loss of time or work.
