As I hope you know, the multicolored umbrella icon on your desktop is a very convenient way for you to backup files stored on your local hard drive, but do you know...
- what folders get backed up?
- that photos, music, and videos do NOT get backed up?
- where your files go?
- how you can check to make sure your files are really getting backed up?
It you don't know the answers to these questions, then you are probably not aware that if you have been storing your irreplaceable photos on your Peddie laptop and you are not backing them up to an external hard drive or an online photo service then
your photos will be irretrievably lost should your hard drive fail.
Spending time ensuring that your files are backed up is like buying insurance--if you wait until you need it then it will be too late. Please don't wait until after you have lost irreplaceable files (years of family photos, countless hours of school work, etc.) to invest time making sure that your files are backed up.
We maintain a KB article named
Peddie User Backups which thoroughly explains Peddie user backups. Please take a few minute to review this page so you understand the limitations of the Peddie backup program. If you have any questions, stop by the Technology Center and we will be glad to answer them.
