Backup

This means to make a copy of the data held on the system in case the original data is lost or damaged.

Backups can be made onto removable media such as CDs, magnetic tape, removable hard disks and then stored away from the PC.

This is useful if there were to be a fire/flood, if the PC were to be stolen or in the event of a hard disk failure. The original data files could then be restored. Backups can also be made to a different drive or file on the hard disk.
