Backup and recovery

Recover the system

HP Backup and Recovery Manager analyzes the hard drive and
creates a dedicated hard drive recovery partition on the hard drive
large enough to store a copy of the full factory image. You choose
whether you want to store that copy on the recovery partition, on
another drive, or on external recovery discs.
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager allows you to
■�
Create recovery discs (recommended). The recovery discs
are used to start up (boot) your computer and to restore the
full factory image (operating system and software) in case of
system failure or instability.

Perform a recovery. You can perform a full system recovery
or recover important files from a recovery partition on the
hard drive or from recovery discs that you create.
C–6
If you don't have a CD or DVD burner, a copy of the
entire hard drive image can be stored on another hard drive
or on a network drive.
