In the right-hand column, AVG Rescue Center shows you a list of all stored backups and also the time at
which each entry was changed.
Create Backup
Use this button to create a system restore point. Give this point a name by which to remember this system
status at a later time.
Since a system restore point saves the status of your configuration and system files, you are advised to create
a system restore point before making any significant changes to the system (such as installing a program). If
something goes wrong during installation or your computer no longer works the way it used to, you can always
restore it back to its original status at any time.
Delete
If you are quite certain that you no longer need a backup, you can delete it permanently using this button.
Restore
Use this button to restore the system to its status before the selected backup. You will need to restart your
system.
This function is useful if your computer no longer functions properly following a change to the system.
First, select a restore point that is as recent as possible, in order to avoid undoing too many system changes.
7.4.3. Changing Settings
You can change some of the settings of the AVG Rescue Center. In the AVG Rescue Center click on the
Settings button.
Alternatively, you can enter these settings from the Start Center. In the Menu Bar, click Settings and find the
Rescue Center protection item (in the list on the left side of newly triggered configuration dialog).
Rescue Center Protection
Every AVG PC TuneUp module is protected by AVG Rescue Center as standard. You can disable this
support for individual modules by clearing the relevant checkboxes.
Backups
Here you can set how long the individual backups of AVG Rescue Center should be stored for. The standard
setting is for backups to be automatically deleted after two weeks and for a maximum of 60 backups to be
stored.
Do not restrict the AVG Rescue Center protection too much in order to save disk space. In the event of
problems, the protection function is very useful as a last resort and generally more important than
saving a small amount of space on your hard disk.
