Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, dear learners, can
continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step
as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM.
This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to
ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the
lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check
your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that
you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teachers are also provided
to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can best
help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of
this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercise and tests. Read
the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the tasks
in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.

 This module identifies the safety procedures in maintaining stored work. Activities are
arranged from simple to complex, so you can understand the lesson progressively at
your utmost.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

• enumerate safety procedures in maintaining stored work;

• identify the strategies and the importance of implementing safety procedures;
and
• distinguish between the correct and incorrect practices in maintaining stored
work.

Hi there! Today you are about to discover the safety procedures in assessing
finished work for storage. Before we start, let us first assess your prior understanding about

3. Keeping updated versions of your file is important.
4. Deleting previous year files that are not important is necessary.
5. Backup files are not applicable in storing files.
6. Having an antivirus helps you to maintain your computer safety.

Good job! It seems that you already have an idea of the lesson in this module. With
that, let us now proceed with the information that you need to learn.

Safety Procedures in Maintaining Stored Work

Strategies to Keep Safe Computer Files

Strategy 1: Naming Computer Files and Documents

• Keep it in a folder: This would help you store

your work properly. Sort tasks in every area,
and find your files quickly in times of need.

• Add the date: Documents can be located easily

when the filename is exactly the date you
created the document. Start the file name in
reverse order YYMMDD- these will appear
arranged properly in the date order. For
example, the document created on 11/3/2012
can be called as ‘120311 study notes on cell
chapter 5.doc’.

• Keep the updated version of files: In working on a document like a PowerPoint

presentation, an essay or a major project, it is a good idea to keep different versions
of the document as you progress and delete the working versions when you finish.
The easiest way to do this is to change the date whenever you start working on the
document like this: ‘120313PLP.doc.’

• Clean up unnecessary files: Delete documents yearly which you do not need anymore
or put them into sensibly named folders. For instance, school and students should
keep all their notes from previous years for future purposes. In this case, create a new
folder with the year when work was done. For example, in your TLE folder, make a
new folder called 2019 TLE files and transfer all your files into that folder.

3
 Strategy 2: Backing up your Computer Files

• Have a backup of your files using the system and

security command located at the Control Panel. If
you don’t know how to set up a backup, seek
assistance from the people who have expertise on
this field of work.

• Store your files with the use of available storage

devices.

Strategy 3: Protecting Data from Outside Attack

• Ensure that you have an updated anti-virus

software.

• To avoid malfunctions, back up your operating

system and programs at least once a month to
restore your system after a virus attack.

• Have an external drive or a flash drive where you

can have a backup of your files somewhere else
safely.

Ways to Secure Stored Computer Data

Here are the ways to protect data in your computer, prevent unauthorized persons
to access your files, and avoid accidental or unintended destruction or corruption of data:

1. Implement data protection and security model, including multiple perimeter rings of
defense to counter applicable threats.

2. Include both logical (securing your networks with firewalls, running anti-spyware and
virus detection programs) and physical (restricted access and locks on server,
storage and networking cabinets) security.

3. Know who has physical access to fix and remove data storage.

4. Avoid letting data security become a bottleneck to productivity, because that is a

sure way to compromise a security initiative.

5. See to it that backup and archives are secured, including the process of performing
backups and recovery along with where and how the data is stored.

4
Data Security Measures

1. Establish Strong Passwords

Putting a combination of capitals, lower-case

letters, numbers, and symbols to create a strong
password is important. The more characters in your
password, the better, but refrain from using personal
information to secure your password.

2. Set Up a Firewall

Another way to protect your desktop against

viruses is by setting up a firewall that would ensure
your network. It is important to consider as they can
control internet traffic coming and leaving from your
desktop.

3. Install Antivirus and Anti-Malware Protection

Antivirus and anti-malware protection software

are indispensable to protecting your data. They are
designed to block worms, malware, and Trojan
viruses that can destroy your operating system.

4. Schedule Backups

Using external hard drives or cloud drives, you

can keep your data safe. Scheduling your backup
weekly can also help you in storing data.

and a thumbs down symbol ( ) if it is false.

1. Firewall helps our desktop to manage unwanted users.

2. Having a folder that is exclusive for your files is important.

3. Scheduling backups for file safety is unnecessary.

4. Outdated anti-virus software can make your files and desktop safe.

5. Keeping the updated version of your work is important.
