12 Backup and Recovery in SUSE Linux

Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. As you add new software and
data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably
current backup.
Your computer includes tools provided by HP to help you safeguard your information and retrieve it if
ever needed.

Creating backups

Create restore media immediately after you set up the computer. For more information, see
