Abstract
An information handling system ('IHS') includes a processor and a memory device for storing instructions processable by the processor for causing the IHS to determine whether configuration of a basic input output system ('BIOS') has been modified. The instructions are also processable by the processor for causing the IHS to, in response to determining that the configuration has been modified, determine whether a previously stored configuration is likely a valid configuration. Moreover, the instructions are processable by the processor for causing the IHS to, in response to determining that the previously stored configuration is likely a valid configuration, store the configuration that has been modified in a new location of a storage device. Furthermore, the instructions are processable by the processor for causing the IHS to, in response to determining that the previously stored configuration is likely not a valid configuration, store the configuration that has been modified in a location of the storage device that stores the previously stored configuration.
