HP Spectre x360 Maintenance And Service Guide

Backing up system and personal information
Your computer stores information that is important to you, such as files, emails, and photos, and you will
want to keep that information even if you download a virus or the system stops working properly. How
completely you are able to recover your files depends on how recent your backup is. As you add new
software and data files, you should create backups on a regular basis.
Tips for a successful backup
●
Number backup discs before inserting them into the optical drive.
●
Store personal files in the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries, and back up these folders
periodically.
●
Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your settings.
The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to re-enter your preferences.
To create a screen shot:
1. Display the screen you want to save.
2. Copy the screen image:
To copy only the active window, press alt+prt sc.
To copy the entire screen, press prt sc.
3. Open a word-processing document or graphics editing program, and then select Edit > Paste. The
screen image is added to the document.
4. Save and print the document.
What you need to know
●
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a flash drive, a network drive, or
discs.
●
Connect the computer to AC power during backups.
●
Allow enough time for the backup. Depending on files sizes, it may take more than an hour.
●
Verify the amount of free space on your backup storage device before you back up.
●
You should back up:
◦
Before adding or changing software or hardware.
◦
Before the computer is repaired or restored.
◦
On a regular schedule to be sure you have recent copies of personal information.
◦
After you add many files—for example, if you saved videos from a birthday party.
◦
Before using antivirus software to remove a malicious program.
◦
After adding information that is hard to replace, such as pictures, videos, music, project files, or
data records.
