backing up Excel files

[Louis]

Is there a way of backing up all or several of your files
at once? Or do I need to back up each one to a disk 1 file
at a time? I have several folders with individual files
in each folder.

Thank you

Louis

All depends on your backup software

Most ones I have seen lets you select the files you want to back up





.
I'm just using the basic disk back-up.

You are just copying the files or are you actually doing a back up?
What version Windows are you running? If you have XP there is a true backup
utility (start Accessories System Toools BAckup)


You can copy multiple files by opening Explorer, expanding the tree and control
+ click selecting them.

Easiest thing would be to make a copy of the file and save it on a floppy or cd.
But make sure that you are doing this from Windows Explorer not Excel

You should be able to open Explorer (or my computer) go to where the file is and
either highlight the file and select edit copy then move to the drive you want
to copy it to -- A for floppy perhaps D for CD RW Then select Edit paste

Another way is to highlight the file, right click on it and select send to and
select the drive.

You can also copy entire folders this way.

You will be limited by the amount of space on the cd or disc and what is on
there already
