2–4 Software Update, Backup and Recovery
Backup
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.
