● Recovering a program or driver ● Performing a full system recovery Backing up your information As you add new software and data files, you should back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. Back up your system at the following times: ● At regularly scheduled times NOTE: Set reminders to back up your information periodically. ● Before the computer is repaired or restored ● Before you add or modify hardware or software Note the following when backing up: ● Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy them to a disc. ● Store personal files in the Documents library, and periodically back up this folder. ● Back up templates stored in their associated programs. ● You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs. ● When backing up to discs, use any of the following types of discs (purchased separately): CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, or DVD±RW. The discs you use depend on the type of optical drive you are using. NOTE: DVDs store more information than CDs, so using them for backup reduces the number of recovery discs required. ● When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive. ● Save the customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of the settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences. To copy the screen and paste the image into a word-processing document: 1. Display the screen. 2.
