Back Your Computer up Reminder!

Friendly reminder! Back up your Embroidery designs frequently! Do it once per week and if that isn't possible, try for the first of each month!

Some little tid bits I have learned! :-)

I use external hard drives to back up not only designs but everything related to my computer. Kind of sounds like over kill, but I have one that I back up my entire computer to. A second, that only embroidery designs get backed up to. A third that pictures get backed up to. End of each year, I back up designs to a dvd. My pictures, I back up the current year to dvd and label it. This way I have hard copies too!

I have also found to never leave my hard drives plugged in to the computer or wall outlet. They get hot quickly! So I only plug them in when I'm using them. This will extend the life of those external hard drives!

Have a great day!
