What is a page file and do I need to back it up?
Windows use page files as an “extension” of your RAM stored on the hard drive when additional
random access memory is needed.
You do not need to back up your page file, which tends to grow quite large. It is excluded from backup by default in PC Data Backups.
In Windows 2000/XP, the Windows page file is located at C:/PAGEFILE.SYS.
In Windows 98, it is called a swap file and located at C:/ WIN386.SWP.
