You can go back, oh yes you can. The recovery system that ships standard on the MusicXPC let’s you do just that. If lightning strikes and something goes hopelessly wrong with your system, there is hope and a way to minimize the impact or the loss.

The MusicXPC C4’s recovery system is an always-available and tamperproof recovery tool built into the core of the PC. This ideal recovery solution stores user data, applications, and the operating system (OS) in the secured host protected area (HPA) of the hard drive. Users can easily recover systems to their original factory conditions or to a more recent state without factory-supplied restore CDs or having to call tech support. This recovery is done without Windows XP and will work even on a system drive that has been re-formatted.

By making it so easy to reset the MusicXPC C4 to factory setting, each user will enjoy not only a true sense of comfort but the cost of ownership is reduced by reducing costly shipments back to the dealer. The productivity increases are also real since the user can easily set multiple restore point of his/her choosing. This allows users to restore the MusicXPC C4 to yesterday’s state or last week's. The dynamic, continuous data protection offered by the C4 allows you to tell the MusicXPC C4 to automatically set the restore points for you.

In the example above the MusicXPC owner has 4 options for recovery:

• Factory Setting: This is the way the MusicXPC came out of the box. All tweaks to WindowsXP and a finely tuned PC ready for media production. This is a permanent restore point that cannot be erased and is always there as a last resort.
  
  
• Software Setup: This is the first restore point invoked by the user. This was created after the time consuming and painstaking work of installing your applications, plug-ins, virtual instruments, sound libraries and such. You know how long it takes to do this, to get all the CDs together, all the authorization codes, etc. Now we've created a place in time where we can return.
  
  
• Last Monday: The user has established an automatic and recurring restore point which incrementally backs up the state on the computer at 12:01 AM every Monday. This means that while you sleep the MusicXPC is making sure that your rest is a peaceful one.
  
  
• Last Boot Up. The user has decided to have another incremental restore point automatically created each time the MusicXPC boots

Never has there been such a powerful, secure and innocuous way to alter history. Never has this degree of peace of mind been available to media producers. MusicXPC again sets new standards of reliability and security.
