Protect&Restore creates backups to a hidden and protected partition on your hard drive or CD/DVD. If your system is infected by a virus, if Windows will not boot, or if you lose data, simply access Protect&Restore, either through Windows or by pressing the space bar during startup, and restore your PC to an incremental backup point made prior to the data loss or system failure. In the event your hard drive is physically damaged, simply use the bootable backup CD/DVD you created using Protect&Restore to restore your entire OS and data to a new hard drive or PC.
