Notebook Requirements 
 
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager operations are intensive for the hard disk 
and CD or DVD drive and all drives require a lot of power under such usage.  The 
HP Backup and Recovery Manager, therefore, requires that notebook computers 
use AC power when this application is running and while all scheduled backup 
operations are taking place.
