Backup Other data make sure you
have a complete backup of everything
Backup other data
We have already covered backup everything else such as files ,
documents and other general data, but what about if you need to
backup other data such as the more obscure things.
a) Do you need to
save any cookies ?
b) Do you use any other Internet browser apart from Internet
Explorer and would like to save your favorites ?
c) Do you chat on MSN , do you save your conversations ?,
have you received any files this way ?
d) Do you have any custom templates for Microsoft Word or
Excel ?
Does anyone else use the computer? Do they have files that
need to be backed up?
Cookies
If you need to backup
cookies its very straight forward there will be a cookies
directory within your user directory i.e documents and
settings/user/cookies from here you just need to copy the file
to your backup location

backup other article Do you use any other browser apart from
internet explorer.
We covered backing up
from internet explorer in our other backup article
Other Browsers
If you are using Mozilla
Firefox just go the bookmarks directory and select Manage
Bookmarks, now simply choose Export from the file menu and
choose a location for them.
If you are a Netscape
user To export your bookmarks its pretty similar to Firefox, due
to Netscape being based on Firefox select Manage Bookmarks from
the bookmarks menu , now from the File menu select export.
MSN
If you are an MSN user,
you have probably received various files, you might have even
saved the chat dialogue.
If you would like to
back up either, just go to the following location,
Documents and
Settings/username/My Documents/My Received Files
Here you will find
anything that has been received, you just need to substitute the
username part of the string for your actual username
Do you have any
custom templates for Microsoft Word or Excel ?
If your using a custom
template for Microsoft Word or Excel and wish to back it up,
just go to
Documents and
settings/username/Application Data/Microsoft/Templates ,
replace the username
part of the string for your actual login username. Here you will
be able to find any Microsoft Word or Excel templates.
If like me you have taken a while creating a custom template ,
its the kind of thing you really wont want to lose.
Other Users Data
How many people use the
same computer ? , do you need to backup other data for anyone
else, do they have files stored anywhere, if so the majority
will be stored within their user area, which is located under
c:\documents and settings\username
substitute the
username part of the string for the actual username of the
profile, here you will find most files and documents,
