Backing up configuration settings

Important:
Run ConfigSafe (or a similar application) to take a snapshot of your computer
configuration before installing an optional device. Using this snapshot, you can
view and compare the changes in the computer configuration after you install
an option. Also, if you have problems configuring the option after it is
installed, you can use ConfigSafe to restore the configuration to the previous
settings.
When you start your computer for the first time, ConfigSafe takes a snapshot
of the initial configuration of your computer. You might be able to use this
snapshot to restore the configuration to the initial settings.
ConfigSafe is a part of the preinstalled software in your computer. For more
information, use the ConfigSafe help system.
