Components on your computer are tough, but not infallible. They are subject to the whims of the power system, storage devices or the software that you use and those that have found their way onto your hard drive without your express permission. Information is the stock in trade of a computer, so that when you loose them, you tend to loose the computer too. There are innumerable ways through which you can lose the information on your computer. Maybe your child has decided to become a virtuoso at playing Chopin using your keyboard, you unexpectedly became a victim of the god of thunder as a result of a power surge caused by lightening, you have acquired an uninvited guest in the form of a virus, or maybe your hard drive suddenly decides to call it quits. This is why; backing up the contents of your hard drive on a regular basis is an absolute necessity.
If you make a backup of the contents of your hard drive on a consistent basis and have them stored in an entirely separate location, you will not be robbed of your hard earned data when the blue screen of death finally catches up with you.
Backups come in a variety of modes. The windows operating system can make normal, daily, copy, incremental or differential backups. You can use set up the windows operating system to make these backups of your data onto floppies, CD, or a zip drive which you can use for restoration whenever it becomes necessary. Things do happen to your storage media sometimes just when you need them. Either the dog ate them, or the cat relieved itself on them. This is why it is probably safest to use third party software if you take your backups very seriously. That means backups of all your files, programs, and user settings to an external server dedicated to saving you from the elements. This would definitely save you time when time comes to do a restoration. Acronis 2010 is one backup implementation you might find very useful.
