Backing Up Information

Backing up your information is the only sure fire way to ensure that you do not loose any of your important documents. This is very simple to do and should be done on a regular basis.

If you wish to just backup all of your documents, simply copy your documents folder to a blank CD, a thumb drive, or some other form of media. Please note this requires that all of your documents are in your documents folder. Please see File and Folder Management for more information on this. You can access your documents folder in two different places. First is in the sidebar of a window in the Finder.



The second method is in your user directory.



If you wish to backup all of your files (movie clips, mp3s, documents, images, etc…) copy your user folder to a storage media. Please know that if you have a large files, this will require a lot of space and may require multiple CDs or DVDs.
