Backing+up+your+Computer

Backing Up Documents on Your Z: Drive Your Z: drive is actually a folder created for you on the server. When you move a document to the server, a copy of your document is placed on the server. Your original document still remains on your computer. Every Manning Oaks staff member has a Z: drive. It will have the title “YourUserID on ‘mngoak-curr\staff$’ (Z:).” You can see the drive by opening “My Computer.” ** __ To copy a document to your Z: drive: __ ** (NOTE: This method is the basic copy/paste method. You may be able to just drag the document to your Z: drive, but be sure you have a full copy of the document and not just a shortcut.) 1. Logon to the computer // using ** your logon ** //, not a student logon. 2. Double-click “** My Computer **” to open that window. (If that window completely fills the screen, click the box next to the red “x” box in the upper right corner to downsize the window.) 2. Double-click “** My Documents **” to open that window also. 3. ** Arrange the windows ** so you can see the icon for the Z: drive __and__ the icon for the document you want to save. (Click and drag the blue title bar at the top of the window to move the window.) 4. ** Right click ** the icon of the document you want to backup, and drag down to Copy. 5. Right click the icon of the Z: drive, and drag down to Paste. You have now saved a copy to your Z: drive. (Double-click the Z: drive to see the saved document.) ** __ To backup Easy Grade Pro: __ **
