Backup and recovery
Tools provided by the operating system and Recovery
Manager software are designed to help you with the
following tasks for safeguarding your information and
restoring it in case of a system failure:
■ Backing up your information regularly to protect your
important system files.
■ Making a set of recovery discs (Recovery Manager
software feature). Recovery discs are used to start up
(boot) your computer and restore the operating system
and software programs to factory settings in case of
system failure or instability.
■ Creating system restore points (operating system feature).
System restore points allow you to reverse undesirable
changes to your computer by restoring the computer to
an earlier state.
■ Recovering a program or driver (Recovery Manager
software feature). This feature helps you reinstall a
program or driver without performing a full system
recovery.
■ Performing a full system recovery (Recovery Manager
software feature). With Recovery Manager, you can
recover your full factory image if you experience system
failure or instability. Recovery Manager works from a
dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive or from
recovery discs you create.
