HAVE YOU BACKED UP YOUR COMPUTER FILES THIS WEEK?
You can backup files onto CDs, DVDs, or a USB Flash Drive. When you buy a USB Flash Drive from London Drugs or Staples, insert it into your computer’s USB port (the port looks like a small rectangle), and the Flash Drive program should either search for a “driver” or it will open automatically. Be patient the first few times. A little dialogue box will open, basically asking what you want to do: choose something that says “Open files…” or whatever, then you can choose what files to drag an’ drop into the Flash Drive . Or you can do it this way…see the two versions below…
- Top Producer must have a way to backup its files: Click on “File”, then look for the word “Backup.” But first go to ”Help” and do a search. (I’d have also to do a search to see how-to, probably under “backing up your files”)
- MS Outlook also has a way to backup files: Click on “File” then “Import and Export” – the Wizard opens. Then choose “Export to a file” (top one) then click on “Common separated vales” for Windows, and it will export it into an Excel sheet for you. Choose what you want, e.g. “Contacts” or “Inbox”. Keep clicking “Next.” Then it will ask you where you want to save it by “Browse.” Here you can save to a drive by clicking on the appropriate drive under the basic C-Drive (such as A, B, D, E, etc.). Next. And then Finish.
