Memory cards
A memory card (also called a flash memory card) is a card containing memory chips that is often used in devices such as digital cameras, telephones, music players, video game consoles, GPS system and similar devices where there is a need to store data in a compact from, often using a battery power source. There are a number of different types of memory cards with different storage capacities.
Many new PCs have built‐in slots for different types of memory cards.
Network drives and on‐line file storage
Within an office it is normal that the computers are connected together via a network. This allows you to store your data centrally, on a network server. This network server should be backed‐up by the IT support staff on a daily basis. This means that your data is safely backed up for you.
Alternatively you may create and store your data on your own PC or laptop and periodically copy it across the network to be stored safely on a central network server. In many companies network software automatically backs up selected folder on each computer to the central server.
