I know in a work environment it is extremely important to back up data, since critical information is often saved on the server. But why is a back up needed on a home PC? [br]

Although files are normally backed up on servers, considering they have vital, if not necessary data to keep on hand. It may also be necessary to back up data on home PCs as well. For example, if the home computer user is self-employed and works at home, he is constantly creating files for his clients. These files are vital to his clients and he does not want to lose them in some form or fashion. In this case, he may want to back up his data. [br][br]For home users, backing up data may consist of copying important data files to another hard drive, CD-ROM, or some other kind of media. Whatever method is used, the important part is getting the data saved to the external media so if something were to happen to the hard drive, the data would be safe. [br][br]
