Backup and recovery

Back up modifications made to the system

When you back up modifications made to the system, you are creating system recovery points. A system recovery point allows you to save and name 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.

By default, 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 a copy of changes made after that time.

HP recommends that you create recovery points

Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.

Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.

Recovering to an earlier recovery point does not affect data files or e-mails created since that last recovery point.

After you create a recovery point, you are prompted to schedule subsequent recovery points. You can schedule recovery points for a specific time or event in your system.

To create and schedule a system recovery point:

1.Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery Manager > HP Backup and Recovery Manager.

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager opens.

2.Click Expert Mode.

3.Click Create or manage recovery points, and then click Next.

The Recovery Point Manager opens.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions to create or manage recovery points.
