Altiris Local Recovery

Altiris Local Recovery protects the files on your computer by
storing copies of files, called snapshots. If files on your computer
are accidentally deleted or corrupted, you can easily restore the
files yourself. You can also roll back your complete file system to
a previous state.
Altiris Local Recovery provides protection of files by backing up
files to a hidden Altiris recovery partition. When you install the
software, the Recovery Agent Partition Wizard guides you
through the process of creating the recovery partition. After the
partition is created, the notebook restarts and creates the first
snapshot. After the snapshot is created, the notebook restarts and
the software makes the snapshots available for recovery through
Windows.
Local Recovery is installed with a default schedule so that
snapshots of your files are automatically taken on a regular basis.
You can change the snapshot schedule. For more information, see
the Altiris Local Recovery Help.
You can access your snapshots in the Altiris Recovery Agent
folder. Right-click the Altiris Recovery Agent icon on your
desktop, and then select Open. To restore one of the snapshots,
select the snapshot to restore, and then drag the file to the
appropriate location on your hard drive.
