Catalog Description:

An overview and implementation of developing a hard disk backup strategy, backing up the hard disk, other data protection techniques and practicing congenial electronic communication to reduce the spread of computer viruses. The sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail attachments are prime causes of wasted user time and bandwidth resources.  Opening infected attachments is the most common form of system compromise. The course illustrates simple procedures for creating web sites, posting files, and then linking to them with e-mail rather than sending as attachments.
