Implement procedures for sharing, backing up, and restoring files.

Implementation should include

  • adopting the process of routinely saving and backing up work
  • using alternative methods of saving work (e.g., remote servers, portable drives, web servers, online/cloud storage [e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox])
  • retrieving data from backup files and restoring it to the computer.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • Why is it important to back up work?
  • What are examples of methods/media used to back up work?
  • What are the consequences of failing to back up work?
  • How can one insure that saved work is secure?
  • How can one restore data on a computer?
  • What can one do as a steward of files to protect against a data breach?
