Backupof files is very useful and plays a major role in saving time and money. If you
chose to backup your files now, your important document will have a safe end. One regrettable mistake I once made was not to backup my files on time, and when my system was virus infected and my hard disk had a serious crash. The only solution was for me to replace the hard disk, because I could not even access my windows or documents. All my files were completely lost because I did not back my files up. So please it will be so helpful now I you back your files up now.
Just follow the steps below
To help ensure that you don’t lose your precious documents or files, you should back them up daily/regularly.
You can set up automatic backups or manually back up your files at any time. Most users check out on What Backup Tools does Windows provide

Do one of the following:
- If you have never used Windows Backup before, click Set up backup, and then
follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. - If you have created a backup before, you can wait for your regularly scheduled

Notes
- We recommend that you don’t back up your files to the same hard disk that Windows is
installed on.
- Always store media used for backups (external hard disks, DVDs, or CDs) in a
secure place to prevent unauthorized people from having access to your files; we recommend a fireproof location separate from your computer. You might also consider encrypting the data on your backup.
To create a new, full backup
After you create your first backup, Windows Backup will add new or changed information to your subsequent backups. If you’re saving your backups on a hard drive or network location, Windows Backup will create a new, full backup for you automatically when needed. If you’re saving your backups on CDs or DVDs and can’t find an existing backup disc, or if you want to create a new backup of all of the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here’s how to create a full backup:
- Click to open Backup and Restore.
- In the left pane, click Create new, full backup.
Note;
- You will only see this option if you’re backup is being saved on CDs or DVDs.
After you upgrade Windows, you will need to set up Windows Backup, even if you had a scheduled backup in the previous version of Windows.
This is because there are several changes to the backup program. Instead of
selecting file types to back up, you can have Windows back up data files saved
in libraries, on the desktop, and in default Windows folders or you can choose
specific libraries and folders to be backed up. You can also create a system
image of your computer.
