It means that a file should/must be copied to a CD. The file is basically duplicated, so you keep the original file and the copy is landed onto the CD. Thus, you can carry this file around anywhere.
No, but we recommend that you keep a copy of the install file backed up for future installs.
If you are talking about your copy of the legal documents, I suggest you get a bank deposit box and store the information there. A legal file should have involved an attorney who would keep that file in his office as well. It never hurts to have more than one copy, stored in more than one place to insure that the information is safe and available to you at some future date.
Just because somethng is in a system does not mean there is access to it. For your own protection keep back tax returns for at least 7 years. If you have a copy of what is filed and they show you a paper that has incorrect info you have your own hard copy to fall back on. It's for your own protection, I can't say that enough!
All files can be deleted. To be sure you don't lose a file, keep backups of it, so that you have a copy if a file gets deleted.
You should leave your will with your attorney. It is a good idea to keep a copy of your will in a fireproof safe or fireproof box in your home as well.
If you make a living will your should give copies of it to family members such as your spouse and children. You should also give copies to your doctor and lawyer and keep a copy at home in your medical file.
In Canada, its not unusual for a doctor/dentist to illegally refuse a patient access to their file, so I'd vote for "give it to the patient to keep."Another answer:In America, the caregiver must keep their own copy of patient records regardless. It is however a good idea for the patient to get their own copy and occasionally update it. The healthcare provider is allowed to charge a "reasonable amount" for reproduction fees, so you'll want to update your copy of the file occasionally.
You could make a copy of the .exe and put it in another folder which would allow you to play about with the file and still keep a copy of the original.
First, I would make sure the client had paid me in full for the services to date. Then I would copy the file and send the copies to him and hold on to the original file. This is a record of work you have done and you should keep the file for future reference.
The employer is required to keep W-2s on file for three years, and should be willing to provide you with a copy. Additionally, the IRS can provide you, at no cost, a transcript or PDF copy of your W-2. More information: http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq-kw205.html
Can you get a copy of your medical file? Absolutely. Can you copy it yourself? Probably not. By law, you have a right to a copy of your medical file. Most places require the request in writing- quite often on their form. They DO have the right to charge you a reasonable administrative fee per page copied. So keep in mind, even at $0.15 a page, that can add up quickly. (I have paid $45 for a record copy.) If you just want to see what's in your record, I believe you can do that for free. :)
