3.1 Backing up the factory default settings

This option will only be available to you if no storage media for a system restore are
included in the delivery.
We strongly recommend that you back up the factory default settings of your PC onto
DVDs immediately after your purchase.
Note: The "Fujitsu Siemens Computers Recovery" program offers you the one-off
facility to create system restore disks. If no empty storage media are included
with your system, have at least 3 empty DVDs ready.
Only DVD+R or DVD-R media are to be used for backups.
If you have not created such system restore disks, Fujitsu Siemens
Computers can offer to supply installation disks (operating system, drivers,
applications) on a chargeable basis via our Internet shop:
www.fujitsu-siemens.com/recovery .
If you do not have Internet access, please contact Siemens-Fujitsu in your
country. The telephone number (chargeable calls) can be found in the
warranty information under "local help desks".
