File & Memory Management

-

 



Part 1: Backup Files


Computers organize and store files on the hard drive and other removable drives in folders or directories.  File backups are essential for multiple reasons, easy access, drive failure, viruses, etc.  One example is if the operating system fails, then we can retrieve our files from the backups.  My current backup plan is using Google Drive; it is convenient and valuable.  I backup my files weekly.  My only challenge is to remember my backups and cataloging them.


Part 2: Determine RAM

Random-access memory (RAM) is a hardware component used to store temporary data for the programs running on computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and other devices. Operating systems (like Windows and macOS) need to have a certain amount of memory installed to boot up.   RAM and HDD are both types of computer memory. RAM is used to store computer programs and data that the CPU needs in real-time. RAM data is volatile and is erased once the computer is switched off. The hard disk has permanent storage and stores user-specific data and operating system files.  In power loss, the RAM data is lost while the hard drive data is safe.  On my PC, I have 4GB RAM, of which 1.4GB is available. The computer would be faster with more RAM.
