Overview

First you will need to decide where you are going to back up your data. Choices are: external hard drive, external thumb drive or network storage space. If you have very little to back up then you could use CD’s or DVD’s. You will have to determine how much space you are going to need to do your backup prior to backing up your data so you know you will have enough external drive space to back up to.

Steps:

  • Connect your external hard drive or thumb drive into your computer.
  • Open ‘Computer’ window and size it to fit half of your computer monitor.
