Aborting the recovery process
The recovery process always warns you when the decision you are asked to take, cannot be undone.
Whenever possible, the recovery screens allow you either to go back to the previous screen, or to abort the
recovery process.
Performing an application recovery
The application recovery utility allows you to reinstall individual applications. Reinstalling a program can fix
the problems encountered if it does not run correctly anymore. In most cases, you are advised to uninstall
an application before reinstalling it.
