HP Z2 Mini G3 User Manual

You can use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information,
see Using Windows tools on page 24.
●
If your workstation does list the Recovery partition and the Windows partition, you can use HP Recovery
Manager to create recovery media after you successfully set up the workstation. HP Recovery media can
be used to perform system recovery if the hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the
original operating system and software programs that were installed at the factory and then congures
the settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can also be used to customize the system or restore
the factory image if you replace the hard drive.
◦
Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep
them in a safe place.
◦
HP Recovery Manager examines the workstation and determines the required storage capacity for
the media that will be required.
◦
To create recovery media, you must have either a high-quality blank USB ash drive or an external
optical drive with DVD writer capability. If you use an optical drive, you must use only high-quality
blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use rewritable discs such as CD±RW,
DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with
HP Recovery Manager software.
NOTE: A compatible external optical drive may be purchased from HP.
◦
The USB ash drive or external optical drive must be connected directly to a USB port on the
workstation; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.
If you cannot create recovery media yourself, you can obtain USB recovery media for your
workstation from HP. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the
workstation. You can also nd contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/
support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.
◦
Be sure that the workstation is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery
media.
◦
The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.
◦
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have nished creating all of the recovery DVDs.
HP Recovery Manager will nish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery
Manager, you will be prompted to continue.
To create HP Recovery media:
1. Type recovery in the taskbar search box, and then select HP Recovery Manager.
2. If prompted, click Yes to allow the program to continue.
3. Select Create recovery media, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
If you ever need to recover the system, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 25.
