If an external hard disk drive or optical disc drive does not support the USB connection, you
need to install a driver.
Creating a Restore Point
A restore point enables you to restore your computer system files to a previous state,
depending on when the restore point was created.
Typically, restore points are created automatically, for example when you install a driver.
However, we recommend that you create a new restore point manually before installing any
apps or drivers on your VAIO computer.
Refer to Windows Help and Support (
Opening Windows Help and Support
) for information on
creating a restore point.
About Types of Backup

Backing up system images
You can create a backup copy of the whole system of your VAIO computer. If the built-in
storage device or the computer ever stops working, you can use the system image to restore
the computer as it was when backed up.
