  • Page 116: Backup And Recovery

    Creating recovery discs HP recommends that you create recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to its original factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up the computer for the first time.

  • Page 117: When To Back Up

    ■ Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer. ■ Number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive. ■ If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.

  • Page 118: Using System Restore Points

    Using system restore points When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system.

  • Page 119: Performing A Recovery

    Performing a recovery ✎ You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up your computer. Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure or instability.
