Easy Backup

Instructions for creating a backup of documents, favorites, and email with Easy Backup

Close all programs before starting a backup.

Each subsequent time you do a backup, just click the 'Easy Button".

The tech department has come up with a wonderfully EASY way to back up the items that you have stored in your My Documents folder (this includes your e-mail) and your Favorites for Internet Explorer. Here are some things you should do:

  • Desktop - Look at your computer desktop – any items that you want to save for a backup, please move into your “My Documents” folder. Any items you don’t want or need, delete them.
  • Documents - Open up your “My Documents” folder, any items you do not want or need should be deleted. DO NOT DELETE THE “Required Files” FOLDER – THIS IS WHERE YOUR EMAIL IS KEPT.
  • Email - Now open up your up your email (Microsoft Outlook), look through your email and clean out what you do not need – like items in your Inbox, Sent Items and any folders that you have made along the way that are no longer needed. After deleting unwanted items, please empty your “deleted items” folder.
  • Backup - After everything is cleaned up, make sure you do a backup of your “My Documents” folder. This is now easier than ever with the newest backup program.
    • Open...'My Computer'
    • ...'Staff on cenimc (S:)'
    • ...the 'Backup Instructions' folder
    • Drag…My Backup.exe...to the desktop. You will see the ‘Easy Button’ icon.
    • The program automatically knows to backup the 'My Documents' folder and to put it in your staff folder.
