Restoring your work
To restore information from your backup media to your hard
disk, use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in the
online Help or your operating system documentation for
information on restoring files.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program
prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on
the hard disk. Make sure the backup version is the one you
want before overwriting the existing file.
Using the CD-RW/DVD-ROM or multi-function
drive
Optical storage has become the preferred medium for
software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs)
provide a significant increase in data storage and support
features that are not available on any other video platform.
These features include wide-screen movies, multiple
language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera
angles, and interactive menus.
For these reasons, your computer may come with a CD-RW/
DVD-ROM or multi-function drive.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your CD-RW/DVD-ROM or multi-function
drive is set to play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. If
you play a DVD disc from another region, the drive will
automatically change to play in the format of the other region.
The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the
fourth change, the region will be “locked in.” That is, the drive
will only play DVDs from that last region. Note that changing
from region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as
two changes.
