Backup and recovery
Back up modifications made to the system
When you back up modifications made to the system, you are
creating system recovery points. A system recovery 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 the system.
✎
By default, 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.
✎
Recovering to an earlier recovery point does not affect data files
or e-mails created since that last recovery point.
After you create a recovery point, you are prompted to schedule
subsequent recovery points. You can schedule recovery points for
a specific time or event in the system.
