Refer to the operating system or backup utility documentation for
instructions on making backup copies of your data files.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile
application that allows you to back up and recover the primary hard drive
on the PC. The application works within Windows to create backups of
Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to
occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated
manually. Important files can be archived separately from regular backups.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager is preinstalled on the hard drive's
Recovery Partition and allows you to:
●
create Recovery Points to back up the entire system incrementally
●
back up the entire system in a single archive
●
back up individual files and folders
Recovery Points and file backups can be copied to CD or DVD discs, while
all backups can be copied to network or secondary hard disks.
HP highly recommends that you create a Recovery Disc Set immediately
before using the computer and schedule regular automatic Recovery Point
backups.
To create the Recovery Disc Set:
1. Click Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery
Manager to open the Backup and Recovery Wizard, then click Next.
2. Select Create a set of recovery discs (Recommended) and click
Next.
3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides two basic recovery
methods. The first, recovery of files and folders, operates in Windows. The
second, PC Recovery, requires a reboot to the Recovery Partition or from
ENWW
