Data and system configuration backup in the Windows® operating system The Windows® operating system offers some easy-to-use features for backing up your Windows® settings and your data—documents and other important files. Take advantage of these features to protect yourself from much more difficult and time-consuming restoration procedures, and to safeguard your valuable data from loss. Saving system configuration with restore points The System Restore feature of the Windows® operating system quickly creates restore points—‘snapshots’ of your Windows® operating system configuration—and saves them for later recall. If you experience problems after installing some new hardware or software, you can easily select a previously established Control Point to ‘turn back the clock,’ restoring the Windows® operating system to the state it was in just prior to the installation. This is much easier and more effective than uninstalling the hardware or software, which often leaves behind unwanted files and settings. It is also easy to undo a restore point selection, if you change your mind. Follow these steps to create a restore point using the System Restore utility: 1 Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and then System. 2 In the left pane, click System protection. The System Protection tab of the System Properties window appears. 3 Click Create... 4 In the input field, enter a name that is descriptive enough to be easily understood in the future, such as “Before installing Brand X Accounting app.” Then click Create. The Windows® operating system creates the restore point, automatically stamps it with the current date and time, and If Something Goes Wrong If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits displays a message that the restore point was successfully created. 5 Click Close. Then, at a later time, you can re-establish your Windows® configuration using the saved restore point. To do this: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore. 2 Select Recommended restore or Choose a different restore point, and then click Next. The timestamp and description of each restore point is displayed. This list may contain restore points that you did not create. Restore NOTE points labeled System Checkpoint were automatically created by the Windows® operating system. Other restore points may have been created automatically by applications when they were installed. 3 If you selected Choose a different restore point in step 2, select the restore point you want to use, and then click Next. 4 Verify that the restore point you selected is the correct one. If it is not, click Back to return to the previous step. 5 Close all programs and save all open files. 6 Click Finish, and then Yes to begin the system restore. Your Windows® operating system configuration will now be restored to the state it was in when the chosen restore point was created, and then the computer will be automatically restarted. Backing up your data or your entire computer with the Windows® operating system The most valuable component of your computer system is the data you create and store on its internal storage drive. Since problems with either hardware or software can make the data inaccessible or even destroy it, the next most valuable component of your computer system may be a recent backup of your data. Fortunately, the Windows® operating system offers a convenient way to back up your computer or just your important files to optical drives, or hard drives. An external hard drive is recommended in case the internal storage drive fails. No additional software is required. Most of the optical drives built into recent Toshiba portable computer models can write to (or ‘burn’) as well as read If Something Goes Wrong If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits from optical discs. External optical disc writers are also widely available. Follow these steps to back up your computer or files to optical discs, or a storage drive: NOTE You cannot back up the computer while running on battery power. Connect the AC adaptor before continuing. 1 Prepare your backup target by connecting it and/or inserting a blank optical disc in the drive. 2 Click Start. 3 Click Control Panel. 4 Click Backup Your Computer under System and Security. 5 Follow the on-screen instructions to backup your files. For more help, click Start, Help and Support, and search for “back up files.” General tips for installing hardware and software Here are a few tips to help ensure safe and easy installation of new hardware (printers, pointing devices, external hard drives, DVD writers, scanners, etc.) and software (applications like Microsoft® Office and Adobe® Photoshop®, or utility software such as special toolbars for your web browser). . Create a restore point (refer to “Saving system configuration with restore points” on page 205). Before installing anything, use the System Restore utility to set a restore point (see the section titled restor...
