UWSP Information Technology staff recommend backing up your device from your office computer on a regular basis.
When performing the backup for the first time you will be prompted to enter a password for the encrypted backup, please use the word "backup" as your password.
If your office computer is a PC, and if iTunes is not yet installed on the computer visit the tablet FAQ called "How do I install iTunes on my University owned computers?" If your office computer is a Mac, iTunes should come pre-installed.
