Creating System Restore Points - HP EliteBook 6930p Maintenance And Service Manual

Creating system restore points

In addition to the manual backup-and-recovery tools, you can use Windows System Recovery to
automatically back up and restore your information. This feature automatically creates restore points
just before a significant change is made to your system, such as the installation of a program or driver.
You can also set manual restore points.
NOTE: The first system restore point is a snapshot of the entire image that is automatically created
the first time you perform a backup. Subsequent recovery points make copies of changes made after
that time.
HP recommends that you create manual restore points at the following times:
●
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware
●
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not delete data files or e-mails created since that
restore point. To create a system restore point:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore Center.
2. On the left side of the screen, click Create a restore point or change settings.
3. Click Create. You will be prompted to name this restore point.
