8 Backup and recovery Backup and recovery in Windows Vista Backing up and recovering To protect your information, use the Backup and Restore Center to back up individual files and folders, back up your entire hard drive (select models only), or create system restore points. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your computer. Windows Vista provides the following advanced backup and recovery options: ● Backing up individual files and folders ● Backing up the entire hard drive (select models only) ● Scheduling automatic backups (select models only) ● Creating system restore points ● Recovering individual files ● Restoring the computer to a previous state ● Recovering information using recovery tools NOTE: For instructions on these procedures, go to Help and Support. Backing up Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. You should create your initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. Note the following when backing up: ● Store personal files in the Documents folder, and back it up regularly. ● Back up templates that are stored in their associated programs. ● Save customized settings that appear 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. ● When backing up to discs, use any of the following types of discs (purchased separately): CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, or DVD±RW. The discs you use will depend on the type of optional external optical drive you use. Backup and recovery in Windows Vista 103
