Performing a recovery

In case of system failure or instability, the computer provides the following ways to recover your files:

■BackOnTrack Disaster Recovery utility: You can use Disaster Recovery to recover your hard drive image (including your files, programs, and operating system) after a hard drive failure.

■BackOnTrack Instant Restore utility: You can use Instant Restore to quickly restore your computer to a working state if a software-related problem occurs. The Instant Restore utility automatically creates working states periodically. You can also define a working state by saving the current computer state manually.

✎For more information about computer system states, refer to the BackOnTrack software Help.

Using the Disaster Recovery utility

✎To perform a recovery with Disaster Recovery, you need a USB flash drive (purchased separately).

Disaster Recovery recovers data from a Disaster Recovery Set that you previously created with Roxio BackOnTrack. Disaster Recovery is available from the HP Web site in a compressed file called a SoftPaq.

✎Running the SoftPaq makes the USB drive bootable.

Before performing a disaster recovery, you must download the Disaster Recovery utility and extract it to a USB flash drive.
