Backing Up and Restoring Data
The System Restore utility enables you to safeguard your system
files and functional configurations by using System Restore
points.
System Restore points are restorable, benchmark “snapshots” of
your system. The notebook may set System Restore points
whenever you change personal settings or add software or
hardware. Setting System Restore points manually provides
additional protection for your system files and settings. Compaq
recommends that you set System Restore points:
■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
