A
few tips will keep your Hard Drive and Data in good working
condition.
 Backup
your data. Nothing is as good as a full backup of your
documents, records, and databases. The best backup routines use
tape media to record your data. Tape Drive software can be
configured to automatically backup your data overnight. Having it
performed automatically eliminates the chance of the user
forgetting to start the backup. Be sure to rotate tapes. Work on a
tape rotation. Use one tape for each day of the week. Label the
tapes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Change the tapes each day.
Use the same set each week. Bad tapes are the number one problem
when dealing with backups.
Check
for Errors. Run an error checking program, such as scan disk
or chkdsk, on a weekly basis. This will help clean the drive of data
errors.
Defrag
your Drive. The data on your drive is actually broken into
numerous pieces. This not only slows down the performance of your
computer, but makes data recovery very difficult. Run a Defrag
program on your Hard Drive monthly. This will organize your data
and speed up the performance of your system. Running defrag more
often than this is unnecessary in most cases and can result in
failure of your Hard Drive prematurely.
