[Year 12 IT Apps] Backing up and upgrades

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Sadly, the splendid work that many school technicians do to ease the
process for laptop upgrades often means that teaching staff STILL ask for
help to backup their files to a USB key or attempt to backup EVERY file in
case something goes wrong.

Here is a nice narrative to share with your students (. Perhaps by reading
it out and asking them to list the lessons learned. Came via @zdnet and I
was interested in some of the lessons learned as they would apply for just
about any major upgrade (OSX, WIndows, Linux etc.)
