accidentally delete critical files or folders, or if
the hard drive crashes.
This application allows you to:
• Restore files and folders
• Restore your hard drive to the operating
state it was in when you purchased your
computer, without erasing the existing
personal files and data
To schedule backups:
1. Double-click the Dell DataSafe Local icon
on the taskbar.
2. Choose Full System Backup to create and
schedule automatic backup of all the data in
your computer.
To restore data:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Disconnect all the devices (USB drive,
printer, etc.) connected to the computer
and remove any recently added internal
hardware.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the display,
keyboard, mouse, and the power cable.
3. Turn on your computer.
4. When the Dell logo appears, press
several times to access the Advanced Boot
Options window.
NOTE: If you wait too long and the
operating system logo appears, continue to
wait until you see the Microsoft ® Windows ®
desktop; then, shut down your computer
and try again.
5. Select Repair Your Computer.
