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.
When to create restore points
■
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.
