Important
Before restoring your system using the automatically generated backup file, check
the time stamp included in the file name to ensure that you have the most current
file.
Important
The library does not automatically save a backup when you make changes to any of
the library configuration settings other than those for partitions. Any changes
made since the last backup need to be entered manually.
