Creating recovery points

When you back up modifications since your last backup, you are creating system recovery points. This
allows you to save 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.
NOTE:
The first system recovery point, a snapshot of the entire image, is automatically created the
first time you perform a backup. Subsequent recovery points make copies of changes made after that
time.
HP recommends that you create recovery points at the following times:
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally
NOTE:
Recovering to an earlier recovery point does not affect data files or e-mails created since that
recovery point.
To create a system recovery point:
1.
Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager.
2.
Click Next.
3.
Click Back up to protect system settings and important data files, and then click Next.
4.
Click Create or manage Recovery Points, and then click Next.
5.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Scheduling backups

Use HP Backup Scheduler to schedule backups for the entire system, for recovery points, or for specific
files and folders. With this tool, you can schedule backups at specific intervals (daily, weekly, or monthly)
or at specific events, such as at system restart or when you dock to an optional docking station (select
models only).
To schedule backups:
1.
Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > HP Backup Scheduler.
2.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Performing a recovery

NOTE:
You can only recover files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP Backup and Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up your
computer.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager helps you with the following tasks for safeguarding your information
and restoring it in case of a system failure:
Recovering important files—This feature helps you reinstall important files without performing a full
system recovery.
Performing a full system recovery—With HP Backup and Recovery Manager, you can recover your
full factory image if you experience system failure or instability. HP Backup and Recovery Manager
works from a dedicated recovery partition on the hard drive or from recovery discs you create.
