In this, the next in our backup articles we will tell you how you go about backing up your documents and other files on the Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System.

As we have highlighted in our previous articles, backing up your data can avoid a major headache if something happens to your machine and you lose all the data contained on that machine. So here is how you go about backing up your files on Microsoft Windows Vista.

Go to the Start Menu and click the Control Panel and select System and Maintenance. On the System and Maintenance menu, select Backup and Restore Centre.
