| Anyone
who has used a computer for long knows that computers are susceptible
to all sorts of problems: software conflicts, corrupted memory, damaged
floppy disks, network glitches, hardware breakdowns, user errors and
more. Problems may be inevitable but the quick and stress-free recovery
from problems can only be guaranteed if there is a good backup plan
in place and it is followed without exception. |
| Many
computer users maintain only a single backup copy. This is risky behavior!
If the backup is stored on the same computer as the original, both
files could be lost if the hard drive crashes or the computer is stolen.
Even if the backup is stored apart from the original, there could
be problems if the backup was made after an undetected problem occurred. |
| If
you have responsibility for reporting student data to others, there
will be times during the year in which you must have access to your
Easy Grade Pro data. Imagine a problem occurring during one of those
times... if you follow a good backup plan, the solution will be painless! |
| In
the next section, we present a plan for making and managing backups
of your gradebook data. You are strongly encouraged to follow this
plan or some other comprehensive plan for securing your gradebook
data. |
