Recovering system information

Tools provided by the operating system and Recovery Manager software are designed to help you with the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system failure:

Backing up your information regularly to protect your important system files.

Making a set of recovery discs (Recovery Manager software feature). Recovery discs are used to start up (boot) your computer and restore the operating system and software programs to factory settings in case of system failure or instability.

Creating system restore points (operating system feature). System restore points allow you to reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state.

Recovering a program or driver (Recovery Manager software feature). This feature helps you reinstall a program or driver without performing a full system recovery.

Performing a full system recovery (Recovery Manager software feature). With Recovery Manager, you can recover your full factory image if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery Manager works from a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive or from recovery discs you create.

Creating recovery discs

After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the full factory image. The recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure.

NOTE: Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs.

Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:

Use any of the following types of discs: CD-R, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R or DVD-R DL (purchased separately). The discs you use will depend on the type of optical drive installed in your computer. Because DVDs store more information than CDs, DVDs and DVDs with double-layer (DL) support reduce the number of discs required

NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RW, are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.

The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.

Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
