Alan's HINTS & TIPS - Backing Up files and folders.

Welcome to Alan's Hints 'n Tips

Backing Up Files and Folders.

If Microsofts "BackUp" utility is not already on your computer you should find it on your copy of the Microsoft's Windows 95 CD (or disks). By using the "Add-Remove Programs" section of the "Control Panel" on your computer you can install this onto your hard drive. You should find it on the CD amongst the "Accessories" as a file called "Backup".

Once you have managed to do this you can back up virtually anything you like from your hard drive onto a floppy disk or multiple floppies if the file or directory is large.

It will automatically span several disks if the file or directory will not fit on a single disk.

Carry out the following sequence.
NOTE: This may not apply to all versions of Microsoft's Windows 95.
