manual abstract
A backup is unsuitable if you are not able to recover the data, the medium (CD-R, CD-RW) is defective or no longer available. Do I still have to install the enclosed CDs/DVDs? No. Basically all programs are already preinstalled. The disks are only intended as backup copies. When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended? This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter “System Restore” on page 72 concerning the alternatives possible. -76 UK/ N. IRELAND HELPLINE 0871 3761020 REP.
