If you only have one copy of a file, then I'd not recommend that practice,

no matter which computer application you may be using....


For "How might I fix my only copy of a file?" then there are file-recovery

utilities advertised in most computer shops, and these work with

some-but-not-all types of file damage.


(For the implicit "Should I expect to not work?" then no, you should expect

one computer to work pretty much as another does. You might want to check

out the differences there.)
