It is necessary
that you periodically back up all your data files (lessons, plans,
pictures, etc.- anything you don't want to lose.) Two easy methods of
backing up your data are:
- Copying your data to a flash drive.
- Copying your data to the server.
- From the Finder --Go --Connect to Server --select or enter afp://shieldsmac.cape.k12.de.us --Connect. You may have to enter your First and Last Name as it appears on your pay stub (no spaces or periods) - use your state ID without any preceding zeros for your password. Select your folder (with your name) then OK. You will see a pretty close resemblance of the folders that you have on your computer. Drag the files that you want to back up from your computer to the appropriate server folders.
- Tip: Place a folder on your desktop and call it Backup Folder. COPY the files you want to back up (from your Desktop, Documents Folder, /Music/iTunes, etc) and PASTE them into the Backup Folder. Then just drag the Backup Folder to your server Desktop or Documents Folder.
- If you need help doing this, please let me know and I will show you how.
- Download "Backing Up Your Data" for a quick reference as to where your documents reside (or SHOULD reside!) on your Shields mac laptop.
