Backup and recovery

Using system restore points

When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system.

✎Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created since the last restore point.

You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and settings.

■Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware

■Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally

✎If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.
