Recovery Commander periodically creates checkpoints, which are files that store information about your computer. Recovery Commander always creates checkpoints of the registry, system files, and boot files. You can also specify folders and files to include in Recovery Commander checkpoints. By restoring a checkpoint, you can return to a past configuration.
Recovery Commander can save critical system information so you can recover from corrupt or damaged registry issues, a damaged boot record, missing system files, and BOOT.INI and Boot Configuration Data (BCD) errors.
Recovery Commander can also create System Restore checkpoints. System Restore checkpoints save information about registry settings and system information that Windows uses. System Restore checkpoints do not contain personal files.
Note: In this document, the word checkpoint refers to a Recovery Commander checkpoint. A System Restore checkpoint is always called a System Restore checkpoint to avoid confusion.
