Backing up your computer data is very similar and can be thought of as a insurance policy. No one wants to think that they will really need their back ups. But there is a good chance that at some point your computer may fail to operate, be lost in a theft, or damaged in a natural disaster.

Data that changes on a constant basis should be backed up daily. Failure to do this may result in the lose of your data and possible revenue. Backing up your computer data applies to any software application you are using, not just Easy Trip software..

When you update any hardware or software on your computer system you need to perform a full back up before the changes are made. This includes but is not limited to: your network, printers, hard disks, new version of Windows, Easy Trip, Word, Office, etc.

If the new hardware or software does not install or update completely without any errors, do not ignore the error. Continuing to use hardware or software after an error has occurred can be dangerous, and may cause additional problems.

A current and accurate back up of your computer data could save your business and will definitely save you time and grief.

When was the last time you verified the information on your back-up tape or CD to ensure you are backing up what you intended to back up? Are your back ups stored in a safe place?

To accurately back up data you should not normally be using the program you want to back up data for. If there is a back up utility in the software make sure to follow the directions carefully so all of your data is backed up.

We suggest using a Zip Drive or CD Writer to back up your Easy Trip data. Back up s should be done on a removable media so it can be easily transported and stored off site.
