Lab description

 

This lab will go through the first part of Tutorial 1 of Electric and discuss how regular backups have been done.

Part 1: Go through Tutorial 1

Part 2: Discussing regular backups for the labs

Regular backups can help to back up the work when we accidentally messed up the lab we are doing.

2.1) After a period of time, I will back up the lab folder by compress it.

Note: Snipping the right-click menu in Windows can be done by:
    1. Open the Snipping tool.
    2. Right-click the place you want to capture.
    3. Press Ctrl+PrintScreen.

2.2) Upload the file to the Google Drive for backing up.
