TimeMachine

TimeMachine is a tool that helps you recover your computer by saving and

restoring critical system files back to the time your computer was working

properly. During normal operation, this utility runs silently in the background and

checks your computer system files daily by automatically taking a snapshot image

of the critical system files and saving the snapshot as a file. Only one snapshot is

taken per day. However, when an error occurs or when the user attempts to shut

down Windows while a snapshot is being created, the snapshot function fails.

From the saved snapshots, you can select the snapshot you want to restore your

critical system files to.

You may need to run TimeMachine when you encounter a computer problem. To

run Time Machine, do either of the following:

•

If you are running Windows:

Select the TimeMachine icon from your Windows desktop. The

TimeMachine user interface appears on the screen offering the following

functions:

(1) Restore a snapshot image

(2) Undo the last snapshot restored

(3) Save additional snapshot images

(4) Configure the tool's settings

Select the desired function and follow the onscreen directions and tips.

Wait for the results to be displayed.

•

If you are running DOS:

Boot from the Programs CD.

Select the TimeMachine option. Under DOS, TimeMachine offers only

one function, i.e., Restore a snapshot image.

Select the snapshot image file you want to restore your critical system

files to.

Wait for the results to be displayed.
