PC Maintenance and Security Workshop

My computer tech often reminds me that I keep a lot of things on my desk top.  I do that because I like the ease of which I can access things from both home and school, however, this means that I do not often have a safe backup on the districts shared drive.  For this assignment, I explored various "File Back Up" options using our Atomic Learning system.

In general, I learned that backing up files is incredibly easy and that there are both free and pay versions.  I started with a tutorial about Karen's Replicator and was excited that there was a free site that would do exactly what I wanted.  After learning about that and realizing that I had to explore three tutorials, I stumbled across pay dirt.  I discovered that windows XP has a build in back up system.  As soon as I log into my computer at school, I will be able to have all files on my desktop saved directly to my school's backup system.  I plan to immediately share this with other teachers, after getting approval from the tech department of course.  It seems incredibly easy to categorize my files and choose what I want updated in which location.  I amazed by the ease of use.  The third tutorial I watched evaluated various systems.  I am confident that I am using the correct option for work use.  In the future, I may need to investigate additional options for home use, especially when it comes to backing up pictures and videos.
