Bandwidth limiting, Backup failover, Scheduled backups

●You can create individual file and folder backups locally or externally to a network, other drives, or optical media.

●For factory installations, the backup image is first stored on the Windows partition and later moved to the Recovery Partition depending upon customer actions (i.e., launching Recovery Media Creator, performing Entire Drive Backups, or creating Recovery Points).

Bandwidth limiting

You cannot limit bandwidth when backing up to the network.

Backup failover

You cannot perform an automatic failover to a second local disk when there is a backup.

Entire Drive Backup on local drive

There is a locked down folder at C:\System Recovery where the Entire Drive Backup is stored, and you can not use HP Backup and Recovery Manager in Windows to remove the backup if necessary. Therefore, if you accidentally make an Entire Drive Backup on the local drive, and you then attempt to create another EDB on top of it, if there is not enough space in the partition, the EDB process aborts, and you cannot delete the old Entire Drive Backup from the C:\ drive.

Scheduled backups

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides a convenient scheduling utility. Once configured, scheduled backups require no user intervention. HP recommends that you create the backup schedule immediately to ensure continued system and data security.

The Scheduler is located at Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > HP Backup Scheduler.

NOTE: Scheduled backups may require user interaction if a password was used when creating the schedule.

You can schedule any backup that you can create manually, including:

●Recovery Points

●Entire Drive Backups

●File Backups

Manual backups

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager allows you to manually or automatically create individual file backups, entire drive backups, or recovery points. The manual backup option is useful for creating single archives that you can back up to a network, hard drive, or CD/DVD disc.

You can perform manual backups by clicking:

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

2. Click Next.
