1. Click on start-programs-accessories-system tools. This older has systems tools, look for backup. If its not listed install it from your windows cd<o:p></o:p>
2. Start backup, a box will appear asking if you want to create a new backup job, open an existing backup job or restore files. Choose Create a new backup job. This will start the backup Wizard that will guide you through the backup process. The first choice you have to make is whether to backup the entire hard disk or selected files. I always choose selected files.<o:p></o:p>
3. Now you have to say whether you want to backup all of the files that you have selected or only those files that have been created since last backup. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A GOOD FILE REGISTRY, AND HAVE YOUR FILES PUT INTO SPECFIC FOLDERS. If you have selected files to backup, click next.<o:p></o:p>
4. You can use a cd rom to back up if you have a burner, or your floppy drive. If using a burner insert a cd, or insert a floppy into the floppy drive. You are given a space to type in a file name, make it what you like. In the next window you will have two options to choose. The first is a safety check, where the backed up files are compared to the original files to ensure that they have been successfully backed-up. The other option allows you to compress the files to save space. Make sure both options are selected and click next.<o:p></o:p>
5. In the next window you will be asked to provide a name for your back up job. SO YOU CAN PUT THE FILES THAT YOU BACKED UP.IE MY DOUCUMENTS.Click on next after you put in the backup up name.<o:p></o:p>
6. After about 30 secs, you should get a message telling you backup completed-no errors. Congratulations, you’re backup is finished.<o:p></o:p>
