Data Management and Backup When you switch from a Windows computer to a Mac, you can transfer over many of your PC files and use them just like you did before. Common Windows file formats including text and PDF documents, images, audio, and video files can be easily opened in OS X. The first step is migrating your files from the Windows machine to your Mac. In addition to migrating your data, it’s also important to protect your data. You should make regular backups of your system and keep multiple backups of important files. Your organization may have a specific backup policy you should adhere to, but even if it doesn’t, a personal backup strategy is always a good practice. In this chapter you’ll learn how to migrate your Windows data to a Mac through various transfer methods. Then you’ll learn how to set up a backup strategy to protect your important data from potential loss. Migrating Data from Windows to a Mac You can connect the Mac and PC together through a network and use Migration Assistant. For a small number of files, you can copy files from your PC onto external or removable storage media and then use the media in your Mac or send Windows files to your Mac over the Internet via email. Transfer your Information from a PC with Migration Assistant If you didn’t transfer your information to your Mac when you first set it up, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer your information at any time. For example, using Migration Assistant, you can transfer your user account—including all your pictures, music, and files—from a PC to your Mac. Transfer your information You can transfer information over a wired or wireless network. Make sure your computers are connected to the same network. 8 1.
