Tips to prevent data loss

When any type of data loss situation happens then usually users get frustrated at such situation it is very important to have patience.

Many of us have faced frustration after losing hours of work due to a computer crash or some other type of hardware failure. That is why it is always useful to think in advance. Microsoft Office has excellent features which enable automatic saving settings that can prevent users from losing their work.

Here’s a look at how some of these features work.

Auto-save

No matter if you are working in Word, Excel or PowerPoint, every document you are working on is being auto-saved by default every 10 minutes. By going to File – Options – Save, we can access these settings and change them.

If 10 minutes is a too long period for you, then you can lower it. Also, you can see where all auto-saved files are being stored on your computer, so that you can know where to access them later.

AutoRecover

In Microsoft Excel 2002 and in Microsoft Office Excel 2003, the AutoSave feature has been replaced with the AutoRecover feature. The AutoRecover feature is similar to the AutoSave feature because it saves the file at set time intervals. However, it is different from the AutoSave feature in that instead of saving the file itself, the AutoRecover feature saves a copy of the file to a specified location.

Automatic backup

Microsoft Excel includes an Always Create Backup option. This feature always saves the previous version of your Excel workbook when you save changes to your current Excel workbook. This protects your data from file corruption. However, the information in the backup file will be one save out of date. The backup file will not include your most recent set of saved changes.

This option can be accessed from the Save As dialog box by clicking General Options on the Tools menu. By default, this option is not selected. When you select this option in a file, it is a set for that file only. To change this option for all new documents, modify the template for the default startup worksheet or workbook.

Hard disk maintenance

Your computer’s hard disk is a mechanical device with moving parts. Like all mechanical devices, it will eventually wear out and fail. Hard disk manufacturers frequently measure the reliability of their drives as the average number of hours before failure or “mean time between failure” (MTBF).

As a hard disk wears out, sections of it become unreadable and are frequently referred to as bad sectors. One side effect of this is file corruption. If a file is stored on a section of the hard disk that becomes unreadable, the file can no longer be retrieved.
