It is important to backup your work/files on a regular basis. When backing up your files, use a different drive and folder or disk for the storage location. If you attempt to backup to the same drive and folder where course files reside, the program prompts you to backup to another location. You also have the option of performing a disk-to-disk backup. Backed up course files are encrypted and cannot be modified, but are very useful for restoration purposes in case your original files get erased or damaged.
