Snap-on System Restore is a program that allows you restore the diagnostic tool operating system software to the original factory setup, in the event of a failure. Running the program replaces all “C” drive files with the original factory files and settings.
It is important to understand that ALL files on the “C” drive will be deleted when performing a restore. Performing a restore will restore the Windows operating system to the original factory setup, however the ShopStream Diagnostic Suite will be restored to the same version that was installed at the time the restore was performed.
Transfer all files (e.g. personal files) off of the “C” drive that you wish to retain BEFORE performing the system restore, as all files on the “C” drive will be deleted. To backup saved files created in the ShopStream Diagnostic Suite (e.g. engine data, scope recordings, or image files) see Data Backup.
