files and data. SystemSave is already installed on your hard drive. SystemSave
allows you to back up all information and files on your hard drive, and store it to a
separate partition on your drive for later use. This feature will allow you to restore
all the drivers, applications, and data saved on your computer.
You should perform a SystemSave at least once a month. For instructions on how
