Back Up Modifications Made To The System - HP Compaq tc4400 Getting Started Manual

Back up modifications made to the system

When you back up modifications made to the system, you are
creating system recovery points. A system recovery 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.
✎
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.
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager opens.
2. Click Expert Mode.
3. Click Create or manage recovery points, and then
click Next.
The Recovery Point Manager opens.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to create or manage
recovery points.
