Learning the Basics
Saving your work
Saving your work
Before you turn off the device using the Shut down
command, save your work on the internal storage drive,
external media, flash media, or optical disc. This is one of
the most important rules of computing.
Many applications offer a feature that saves documents at
regular intervals. Check your program’s documentation to
see if it has an automatic save feature.
Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens
to your device. You can back up your files to different types
of media such as USB Flash, CDs, DVDs, external storage
media, or to a network, if available.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
file recovery program preinstalled on the device’s
internal storage drive. Also see “Backing up your data or
your entire device with the Windows® operating system” on
page 144.
HINT: Backing up all the files on your internal storage
drive may take a considerable amount of time and
multiple CDs/DVDs. You may prefer to use a high-
capacity file recovery system, such as an external hard
drive.
