Hello there,

 

Lorraine, may I call you that? What backups are you trying to obtain.

 

The Webroot  Backup & Sync?

 

Here is a video of Back up and Sync. and please look here at the PC User Guide

 

Or Windows OS back up with a DVD or external drive?

 

Look Here for Windows 7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-programs-system-settings-files#1TC=windows-7

 

Or look here for 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/answers?tId=d0f82151-e2e5-4f4c-8a70-e2a24742b0eb

 

Look here for scheduling a back up http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/change-backup-scheduled-time/70dbb98d-08c9-4d81-b3d2-4e7d6cf7a88d

 

Another helpful site,

You need or should  back up your system files encase of a crash or Hard Drive failure.

 

 

Sorry this is alot of information to swallow or understand.

 

Kind Regards,
