System Restore maintains a rolling record of restore points;to limit the amount of space used, older restore points are purged to make room for newer ones.In the event of a serious operating system problem, System Restore can be used from Safe Mode or NormalMode to go back to a previous system state, restoring optimal system functionality.NOTE: System Restore does not revert user data or document files, so restoring does not cause lossof work, mail, or browsing history and favorites.NOTE: Dell recommends that you make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does notmonitor changes to or recover your data files. In the event the original data on the hard-disk drive isaccidentally erased or overwritten or becomes inaccessible because of a hard-drive malfunction,backup files are required to recover lost or damaged data.Using System RestoreSystem Restore monitors a core set of system and application program files, recording and sometimescopying states of these files before changes are made. System Restore automatically creates restore points;no user intervention is required. In addition, you can create restore points manually, if desired.Restore points are created to allow you to choose previous system states. Each restore point gathers thenecessary information needed to restore to a precisely chosen system state. There are three types of restorepoints:System (automatically created) restore points (scheduled by your computer)Installation (event-triggered) restore points (when a program is installed)Manual restore points (created by you as needed)Scheduled Automatic Restore PointsBy default, System Restore creates a restore point every day that the computer is running. If your computeris off for more than a day, a new restore point is created the next time you turn the computer on.
