Backup and Recovery
Recovering system information
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:
●Back up your information regularly to protect your important system files.
●Make 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.
●Create 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.
●Recover a program or driver (Recovery Manager software feature). This feature helps you reinstall
a program or driver without performing a full system recovery.
●Perform 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.
Backing up your information
When to back up
●On a regularly scheduled basis.
NOTE:Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
●Before the computer is repaired or restored.
●Before you add or modify hardware or software.
160 Chapter 8   Backup and Recovery 
						

							Back up suggestions
●Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature.
●Store personal files in the Documents folder and back up these folders periodically.
●Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
●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 reset your preferences.
To copy the screen and paste it into a word-processing document:
a.Display the screen.
b.Copy the screen:
To copy only the active window, press alt+fn+prt sc.
To copy the entire screen, press fn+prt sc.
c.Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste.
Using system restore points
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows
you to save and name 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.
NOTE:Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created since
the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and
settings.
When to create restore points
●Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
●Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
NOTE:If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.
Create a system restore point
1.Select Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System.
2.In the left pane, click System protection.
3.Click the System Protection tab.
4.Under Automatic restore points, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point.
5.Click Create.
The System Protection window opens.
6.Follow the on-screen instructions.

Creating recovery discs
Recovery Manager creates a set of recovery CDs or DVDs for the computer. Use recovery discs to restore
the operating system and software programs to factory settings, in case of system failure or instability.
NOTE:Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of
only one set of recovery discs.
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:
●You will need high quality CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media (purchased separately).
NOTE:Formatted DVD±RW discs and DVD±RW double-layer discs are not compatible with the
Recovery Manager software.
●The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.
●Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
●Number each disc before inserting it into the computer optical drive.
●If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next
time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.
To create a set of recovery discs:
1.Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Manager.
Recovery Manager opens.
2.Click Advanced Options.
NOTE:If you are operating the computer on battery power, you will be prompted to connect to
AC power before you can go to the next step.
3.Click Recovery disc creation, and then click Next.
4.Follow the on-screen instructions.
