Q: My reading of your ad for automatic backup of all my important files, is that it will save any new files. What to back up all files currently on my computer? If possible, how it would be done. I do not want to copy all my files at once, not one at a time which would be very time consuming.
A: There is no need to worry manually backup of every file, since online backup services are automatic backups of all your important files very simple. When you sign up to an online backup service like Mozy or Carbonite will guide you through the file selection process you want in complete safety backup. By default, all these services generally saved in your Documents and Settings folder that includes documents, photos, email, music and data files from applications such as Quicken and Microsoft Money. The first backup can take several hours, but it will work in the background of your computer when it is not in use, so you can continue to use your computer as usual. Then, on an ongoing basis you new files or changes to old files will be automatically saved at a frequency that you select. These scheduled backups take less time because the number of files you want to save will be much smaller.
