2.6 Protecting Your Software
To protect software from loss or damage, you should keep a backup copy of all system software,
applications, and related files stored on the hard drive. You can order a set of backup diskettes
from Compaq at nominal cost for all of the software preinstalled on the computer, or you can
make a set. Refer to the operating system or backup utility documentation for instructions on
making backup copies of data files. Another option is the Compaq Restore CD, which
accompanies many Deskpro models and enables the user to selectively restore the original
Deskpro system software.
2.6.1 Ordering Backup Diskettes
You can order all software as a single set, or you can order the various software packages
separately.
✎
Before calling Compaq to place your order, be sure to have the serial number of
your computer available. This number is necessary for all diskette purchases.
For a list of Compaq support telephone numbers, consult the Contacting Compaq Customer
Support guide.
2.6.2 The Compaq Restore CD
The Compaq Restore CD offers easy deployment and recovery of Deskpro system software.
Along with the Microsoft operating system CD, the Compaq Restore CD enables the user to
selectively restore the original Deskpro system software. This can be extremely helpful in the
event of hard drive failure or corruption.
The Restore CD is specific to each Deskpro model and accompanies many models along with the
Microsoft operating system CD.
