Warning: Be careful about which recovery points you choose to delete. You could
inadvertently lose data. For example, you create a new document, which is captured
in the third recovery point in a recovery point set. You then accidentally delete
the file, which is captured by the fourth recovery point. If you delete the third
recovery point, you permanently lose the version of the file that was backed up.
If you are unsure, you should explore the contents of a recovery point before you
delete it.
See “Opening files within a recovery point” on page 121.
You can manually select which recovery points to remove, if you know which
recovery points that you want to keep within a set.

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.
To make copies of recovery points
