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. To create and schedule a system recovery point: 1. Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery Manager > HP Backup and Recovery Manager. 2. Click Next. 3. Click Back up to protect user system settings and important data files, and then click Next. B-4 Getting Started
