Backup and Recovery
Backing up modifications made to your
system
When you back up modifications made to your system, you are
creating system recovery points. This allows you to save a
snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can
then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent
changes made to your system.
✎
By default, the first system recovery point, a snapshot of the
entire image, is automatically created the first time you
perform a backup. Subsequent recovery points make a copy
of changes made after that time.
HP recommends that you create recovery points
■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
✎
Recovering to an earlier recovery point does not affect data
files or e-mails created since that last recovery point.
After you create a recovery point, you are prompted to schedule
subsequent recovery points. You can schedule recovery points for
a specific time or event in your system.
