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.
