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.
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created since
the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and
settings.
When to create restore points
●
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware
●
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally
NOTE: If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.
Create a system restore point
1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2. In the left pane, click System Protection.
3. Click the System Protection tab.
4. Under Protection Settings, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point.
5. Click Create.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Restore to a previous date and time
To revert to a restore point (created at a previous date and time), when the computer was functioning
optimally, follow these steps:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2. In the left pane, click System protection.
3. Click the System Protection tab.
4. Click System Restore.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Performing a recovery
NOTE: You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP Recovery Manager to create a set of recovery discs (entire drive backup) as soon as you set up your
computer.
