               Here is some tips I use ( since a couple years ) to organise and backup my precious files. This system allows me to work easier with my documents and insure QUICK restoration of those files in case of crash. 
              This tips are known by most of PC users ( it's not really new ;-) ) . This page just made to help beginners. 
              Hope this help ;-)


TIP N°1 : 
[ A centralized, hierarchized DATA Organisation on hard disk ]

                 The majority of applications authorize to record  the produced files  in the directory of your choice. Benefit from this possibility to gather and organize ALL your data in a centralized directory distant of the installation folder of the source application.
                 By separating the data of the applications well, you facilitate the operations of backup and restoration. Moreover, this organization guarantees to you to quickly find a document to work it over again. 

                 Even if DATA2ZIP can perfectly back up data dispersed on the hard disk, prefer as much as possible a centralized organization like in the two examples below.

Example1 : ONE USER on the computer 


 



Example2 : SEVERAL USERS on the computer
 


  Do not hesitate to gradually add sub directories with your work in order to keep a clear organization.


TIP N°2 : 
[ Folders names with "!" or "&"... ]

                   "! " or ' & ' in front of the names of directories allow to have its data directory presented at the head of Windows Dialogs boxes Open/Save as.... You thus limit a painful navigation with the 'elevator' of dialog boxes when you open/save a document.
