Backup and Recovery - Windows XP and Windows Vista

Creating recovery points
When you back up modifications since your last backup, you are creating system recovery points. This
allows you to save 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: The first system recovery point, a snapshot of the entire image, is automatically created the
first time you perform a backup. Subsequent recovery points make copies of changes made after that
time.
HP recommends that you create recovery points at the following times:
●
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware
●
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier recovery point does not affect data files or e-mails created since that
recovery point.
To create a system recovery point:
1. Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > Backup & Recovery Manager.
2. Click Next.
3. Click Create or manage backups, and then click Next.
4. Click Create or manage Recovery Points, and then click Next.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
