Backup and Recovery
Backing Up Modifications Made to the System
When you back up modifications since your last backup, you are creating system recovery points. This allows you to save 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.
✎The first system recovery point, a snapshot of the entire image, is automatically created the first time you perform a backup. Subsequent recovery points make a copy of changes made after that time.
HP recommends that you create recovery points
■Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
