HP Backup and Recovery Manager

NOTE: The features described below are only available on systems shipped with Microsoft Windows
XP. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager included with Microsoft Windows Vista is a more limited
version. Check for updates by clicking Software & Driver Downloads link at http://www.hp.com.
Systems shipped without a Microsoft operating system may not include HP Backup and Recovery
Manager.
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile application that allows you to back
up and recover the primary hard drive on the PC. The application works within Windows to create
backups of Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to occur
automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated manually. Important files can be archived
separately from regular backups.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager is preinstalled on the C: drive and creates a Recovery Partition.
Recovery Points and file backups can be copied to CD or DVD discs, while all backups can be copied
to network or secondary hard disks.
HP highly recommends that you create a Recovery Disc Set immediately before using the computer
and schedule regular automatic Recovery Point backups.
To create the Recovery Disc Set:
1. Click Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager to open the
Backup and Recovery Wizard, then click Next.
2. Select Create a set of recovery discs (Recommended) and click Next.
3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
