"Hi, my name is Pete D'Alessandro. This is Expert Village. All I'm going to do is take from my Documents folder, or whatever it is I'm working in, take a file like Pictures, here, and then open ZIP drive, and then right click and paste. Now I have an exact duplicate of everything I have here, to everything I have here. What's important about this is that when we have this we know our information here is safe, but we have to keep it organized, we have to keep it neat. So, I eject the disk. I always make sure I have it labeled. Something like this. You don't have to use a printout. Write it, whatever you have to do to keep it neat. Make sure you date it, because that'll tell you exactly when that backup's from. You don't know when you're going to lose data, when you're going to have a computer crash, when there's going to be something much worse in your house that's going to cause you to lose data. So you want to make sure that something in here is going to tell you exactly what you're backing up and what exists. Also, try and keep one of these disks at some other remote location. Either it's an office, a friend's house, something else in case there's a fire, something else that allows you to backup remotely."
