micah,

Great point. Most schools have a network drive for saving important documents too. The files stored there will stay there and can be accessed from any computer since they are not stored on the actual computer.

As for frequent backups, a weekly plan for saving any important documents would be something worth implementing. In the worst case scenario you would only lose a weeks worth of documents.

I believe this is also a great time to mention frequent backups of important data. There are tons of online resources for backup and flash drives are super cheap these days.
