Backing up: Not Hard to Do Spam Filters Need Updating Too Backing up Your Computer Isn't Hard to Do the Help Desk (Business‪)‬

Q. I'm getting a new computer for my family and want software to back up whatever we put on it. What's the difference between file-based backup and image-based backup software? A. File-based backup software generally works like this: The program saves copies of files and data on the computer to an external hard disk, recordable disc or removable drive after someone tells it what files to back up. Many file-based programs aimed at home users can be set up to automatically back up only certain files and folders or all the files on the drive, but usually do not back up installed programs and the operating system itself.
