Backing up configuration settings
Important
Run ConfigSafe (or a similar application) to take a snapshot of your computer
configuration before installing an optional device. Using this snapshot, you can
view and compare the changes in the computer configuration after you install an
option. Also, if you have problems configuring the option after it is installed, you
can use ConfigSafe to restore the configuration to the previous settings.
When you start your computer for the first time, ConfigSafe takes a snapshot of
the initial configuration of your computer. You might be able to use this snapshot
to restore the configuration to the initial settings.
ConfigSafe is a part of the preinstalled software in your computer. For more
information, use the ConfigSafe help system.
