Most of hard drive have jumper settings. While jumper configuration is not required for SATA, it's necessary for EIDE, SCSI etc. Jumpers can be found next to to the power and data ports on the hard drive. Most manufactures will print next to each 2 contacts the configuration supported (Slace, Master etc).

How do you back up my hard drive?

You get another memory storage device, such as an external hard drive, and you copy everything on your hard drive onto the external hard drive, and keep it safe. That way, if your hard drive crashes, then you can take it out, and plug your external hard drive in, and work from that.

If you are installing a second hard drive into a computer will it still work if you can't change the jumper to slave?

That would depend on certain variables, such as whether you were putting it on the same cable as the other drive. In IDE, you must have a Master drive on each channel. The second drive must be set to Slave. You were not clear in which drive you could not change the jumper. Assuming the drive in the computer is alone on the cable, it is set to Master, so your new drive must be either set to Slave and be placed on the same cable, or set as Master and placed on another cable.

How can we restore the lost files at work?

Restoring files on a hard drive can always be done as long as the hard drive itself isn't irrepairably damaged physically. If you are able to replace that hard drive with the hard drive in another computer and boot it up, you should be able to roll back the hard drive to a different restore point where everything was accessable.
