Restoring the Software

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile application that is pre-loaded on each system and allows you to:

●create Recovery Points to back up the entire system incrementally

●back up the entire hard drive in a single archive

●back up individual files

Backups can be scheduled to occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated manually. Recovery can be performed from the Recovery Partition on the hard drive or the Recovery Disc Set. The Recovery Disc Set includes the Restore Plus! CD, the Microsoft Operating System, and any Supplemental Software CDs.

NOTE HP highly recommends that you create a Recovery Disc Set immediately before using the computer and schedule regular automatic Recovery Point backups.

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides two basic recovery methods. The first, recovery of files and folders, operates in Windows. The second, PC Recovery, requires a reboot to the Recovery Partition or from the Recovery Disc Set. To reboot to the Recovery Partition, press F11 at startup when you see the message “Press F11 for Emergency Recovery.”

NOTE For more information on using HP Backup and Recovery Manager, refer to the HP Backup and Recovery Manager User Guide by selecting Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager Manual.
