Safety tips to avoid data loss

• Always back up your data, especially when upgrading your system. Make sure that copies of your most important data are being kept off-site
• Always turn your computer off using the operating system shut down process
• Always use up-to-date hardware and software utilities for data security, such as virus protections and firewalls
• Laptops should be operated on a hard and flat surface to allow proper ventilation and to avoid over heating
• Servers should have fans, ventilation or portable air conditioning systems as close as possible to avoid operating in high temperatures.
• Allow enough space around the external drive’s cooling fans and remove any items that may block air flow
• Do not turn off peripheral devices while computer is on, or when disc is active
• Drives should be stable and stationary when operating. If you have to move your computer – turn it off first
• When touching or handling the media, make sure to avoid static electricity
