Welcome to HP Simple Trax

HP Simple Trax protects your data by copying files and folders to a CD and saving information about them in the Simple Trax information vault on your hard drive. This makes it easy for you to find and retrieve any protected version of a file you need.

HP Simple Trax is designed to work just the way your Windows Explorer works. You can drag and drop items or use the menus. You can also click on items with the right mouse button to use the popup menus. Use your favorite method or try a new one.

The installation program will place the HP Simple Trax icon on the desktop and under My Computer. When you open or explore the Simple Trax icon, instead of folders, you see icons representing all the CDs you have used to protect your files with HP Simple Trax. You can see which files and folders are in each CD without putting a CD in your CD-Writer. Retrieving one or more files or folders from a CD is a snap — just treat the Simple Trax folder as a regular CD drive and copy the files using HP Simple Trax's handy popup menus. HP Simple Trax asks you for the correct CD(s) as needed to retrieve the selected files.

You don’t have to log or track what is stored on your CDs, HP Simple Trax does it for you automatically. You can create a list of important files or folders that you want to protect regularly and even schedule protection to take place automatically when you are not using your computer. It's that easy to protect all your important information!

With HP Simple Trax, your important files are secure and easy to retrieve. You can even retrieve older versions of files, allowing you to undo major revisions or changes. HP Simple Trax also helps you find the file(s) you want to retrieve, including specific versions of a file, with its search option.
