Using system restore points
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore
point. A system restore point allows you to save and name a
snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can
then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent
changes made to your system
✎
Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files
saved or e-mails created since the last restore point.
When to create restore points
■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
✎
If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind,
you can reverse the restoration.
