    • File Compression
      • Reducing the size of the file by performing an algorithm on the original data
        • Lossless
          • The original file can be re-created as no data is lost
        • Lossy
          • Some of the original data is lost and the original file can not be re-created
    • Disk Defragmentation
      • When a hard drive disk is new, files get added to the disk in order. When files are deleted, this leaves gaps
        • When new files are saved they become fragmented to fill the gaps.
          • Defragmentation software groups fragmented files back together
    • File Repair
    • Disk Copying
    • Disk Formatting
    • Disk Backup / Restore
      • Ensures that there is a way to restore files/data/programs in case of computer failure
    • Anti-Virus
    • Encryption
      • Encryption scrambles data
        • Encrypted with a key and then decrypted with a key
          • Unreadable to anyone that intercepts it
