Making copies of recovery points
You can copy recovery points to another location for added security. For example,
you can copy them to another hard disk, another computer on a network, or on
removable media such as DVDs or CDs. You can then store these copies in a
protected location.
You can also create archive copies of your recovery points to free up disk space.
For example, you can copy recovery points to a CD or DVD, and then manually
delete the original recovery points. You should verify the copies of the recovery
points to ensure that they are on the disk and are valid.
