Backing up and recovering using Roxio BackOnTrack

Successful recovery after a system failure depends on whether you have completely backed up your
files. If Roxio BackOnTrack is preinstalled on your computer, it allows you to create a backup of your
computer image. You should create the initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add
new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to
maintain a reasonably current backup.
Note the following guidelines when backing up your information:
●
Store personal files in the Documents library and back up this folder regularly.
●
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
●
Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.
