Frequent Multiple Backups
Frequent Multiple Backups (say
every 10 minutes) to both the hard drive
and to a floppy
will help to prevent data losses, especially
during thunderstorm power outages, but
the second best data loss prevention
strategy is to use a Computer Virus Checker on a regular basis (and more frequently if diskettes are being transferred between
offices or external locations). One very popular DOS-based program F-PROT is free for private use and can both detect and disinfect all the known viruses. Get your copy at:
