A problem which you may occasionally encounter is the unexpected loss of some of your work and settings for one reason or another. The causes of such data loss are many and varied; it could be anything from a power cut to accidentally deleting a file. It is highly recommended that you make regular back-up copies of your important files so that, if you do encounter a problem, you will not have lost those files.
It is wise to store back-up copies of files separately from your computer; that is, you should make use of some form of file storage which is not permanently attached to your computer. Options include:
Writable CDs and DVDs
External hard disks and flash memory devices
Another computer on the network
A simple way of backing-up your files is to manually copy them to a safe location (see above) by using Konqueror.
Alternatively and the preferred way, is that you can use Keep, the dedicated KDE backup solution. Access Keep by going to → → .
