+<p>The easiest way of backing-up your files and settings is to let a backup application manage the backup process for you. A number of different backup applications are available, for example <app>Déjà Dup</app>.</p>
- <p>
- Your <link xref="backup-thinkabout">personal files</link> and settings are usually in your home directory.

+<media type="image" src = "figures/deja-dup.png"/>
+<p>The help for your chosen backup application will walk you through setting your preferences for the backup, as well as how to restore your data if something goes wrong.</p>
+
+<p>An alternative option is to just <link xref="files-copy">copy your files</link> to a safe location, such as an external hard drive, another computer on the network or a USB drive. Your <link xref="backup-thinkabout">personal files</link> and settings are usually in your Home folder, so you can copy them from there.</p>
+
+<p>The amount of data you can backup is limited by the size of the storage device. If you have the room on your backup device, it is best to backup the entire Home folder with the following exceptions:</p>
<list>
<item><p>Files that you have copied from a CD, DVD, or other removable media, since it would be faster to copy them again than to restore them from backup.</p></item>
- <item><p>Files that you can generate easily. For example, PDF's that can be generated from TeX files, or object files that can be made with the Make utility. Just ensure the source is backed up.</p></item>

These copies can be used to restore the original data in the event of loss. Copies should be stored on a different device from the original files. For example, you may use a USB drive, an external hard drive, a CD/DVD, or an off-site service.

<p>If you hibernated your computer and switched it on again, but none of your documents or applications are open, it probably failed to hibernate properly. Sometimes this happens because of a minor problem, and the computer will be able to hibernate properly the next time you do it. It might also happen because you had installed a software update which required the computer to be restarted; in this case, the computer may have shut down instead of hibernating.</p>
<p>It is also possible that the computer is not capable of hibernating because the hardware doesn't support it properly. This might be because of a problem with Linux drivers for your hardware, for example. You can test this by hibernating again and seeing if it works the second time. If it doesn't, it's probably a problem with your computer's drivers.</p>
