Backing Up - Server
Don't lose your files
No matter how long you've been working on a document, you don't want to lose it. But the more time you've put into it and the more important is, the more carefully you want to deal with your files. So no matter where you primarily keep your files, your desktop or documents folder, be sure that you also have a copy on the server and/or more than one flash drive.
Warning!
Remember to drag your files to your computer before you work on them. If something happens to the server (such as rebooting) while you have a document open, you will lose unsaved changes and the original document may also be damaged.
