Backup of a personal computer is automatically initiated in response to disk drive performance monitoring software which predicts impending failure or performance degradation and provides messages of such to a tape backup program. A tape backup program initiates a tape backup of data on the disk drive in response to information provided by the disk drive performance monitoring software based on user defined states of performance or other conditions which indicate an impending or possible failure. The tape backup program augments messages normally provided by the self monitoring software by indicating that the disk drive is being backed up at a particular time, and also indicate status of the backup and completion.
