Performing a recovery

In case of system failure or instability, the computer provides the following ways to recover your files:
●
BackOnTrack Disaster Recovery utility: You can use Disaster Recovery to recover your hard drive
image (including your files, programs, and operating system) after a hard drive failure.
● BackOnTrack Instant Restore utility: You can use Instant Restore to quickly restore your computer
to a working state if a software-related problem occurs. The Instant Restore utility automatically
creates working states periodically. You can also define a working state by saving the current
computer state manually.
NOTE: For more information about computer system states, refer to the BackOnTrack software help.

Using the Disaster Recovery utility

NOTE: To perform a recovery with Disaster Recovery, you need a USB flash drive (purchased
separately). For optimum performance, the capacity of the drive should be no larger than 2 GB.
Disaster Recovery recovers data from a Disaster Recovery Set that you previously created with Roxio
BackOnTrack. Disaster Recovery is available from the HP Web site in a compressed file called a
SoftPaq.
NOTE: Running the SoftPaq makes the USB drive bootable.
