RestorePlus!

The RestorePlus! process reinstalls the Windows operating system and device drivers (for

devices included with the system) to a near-factory state. The process does not back up or

recover data on the hard drive. Some application software might not be restored using this

process and must be installed from the appropriate application CD.

●

HP Backup and Recovery Manager (HPBR) Recovery Point

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager application can be used to capture and restore the

contents of the system partition. It captures a snapshot of the system partition and stores it in a

Recovery Point. Everything on the system partition at the time the recovery point was made is

saved.

NOTE:

Workstations.

The Recovery Point is saved to the hard drive and can be burned to media for safekeeping.

CAUTION:

regularly to avoid loss.
