Normally, folks in an office would back up their essential files by photocopying it and filing it away in an aptly named folder, then placing it into a filing cabinet for archival purposes.

There are times when people come up to me and expect things to be done right away. If they prompt you to get it done right away (if this is not your immediate supervisor), make sure to let your manager know. They are there to help, since they are managing you.

Plus, the downside is that executives and managers have to share delegating their workload to the Assistant thus keeping projects or basic tasks on their plate. Employees feel time-compressed.
