Backup and Recovery
Recovery
HP Backup and Recovery Manager analyzes the hard drive and
creates a dedicated hard drive recovery partition on the hard drive
large enough to store a copy of the full factory image. You can
choose whether you want to store that copy on the recovery
partition, on another drive, or on external recovery discs.
✎
Before using HP Backup and Recovery Manager, try repairing
the system by running Microsoft Windows System Restore.
For more information, select Start > Help and Support, and
then search for "System Restore."
HP Backup and Recovery Manager allows you to
■
Create recovery discs (highly recommended). The
recovery discs are used to start up your computer and to
recover the full factory image (operating system and
software) in case of system failure or instability.
✎
If you do not have a CD or DVD burner, a copy of the entire
hard drive image can be stored on another hard drive or on a
network drive.
■
Perform a recovery. You can perform a full system recovery
or recover important files from the recovery partition on the
hard drive, from another drive, or from recovery discs that
you create.
