Dell DataSafe Local Backup is a backup

computer if you lose data due to a virus attack,
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 <F8>
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.
