Backing up your data

1. Click Start.
2. Move the cursor to Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and

Make sure that the Create a new backup job button is marked in
the Microsoft Backup window.
Click OK. The Backup Wizard will guide you through backing up
some or all of the files on your hard disk.
