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:
the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and
settings.
