Backing up your computer is essential. Hard drives fail and sometimes data cannot be recovered. If your computer is stolen, you also have a backup of all of your documents. Backing up is easy at St. Edward's. The best place to store a backup copy of all of your important documents and email is to save a copy on your personal EdShare account. The EdShare server is also backed up nightly so you will always be able to recover documents stored there. You may also backup to CD's or USB drives.
