Safeguarding Your Data
Software or devices added to the notebook can cause your system
to become unstable. To safeguard your documents, store personal
files in the My Documents folder and periodically create a
backup copy of My Documents. Setting System Restore points is
also recommended.
Your notebook sets System Restore points (benchmarks) daily as
you change your personal settings. The notebook may also set
restore points when you add new software or devices. You should
periodically set personal restore points when the notebook is
functioning at optimal performance and before installing new
software or devices. This enables you to return to a previous
configuration restore point if you encounter problems.
To set a system restore point:
1. Select Start > Help & Support. Select the task Use Tools to
view your computer information and diagnose problems.
Select System Restore. A System Restore window opens.
2. Follow the on-screen directions for setting a restore point.
To restore the notebook to a previous date and time when it was
functioning optimally:
1. Select Start > Help & Support > Tools > System Restore.
2. Follow the on-screen directions for restoring the notebook.
