HP Backup and Recovery Manager

NOTE: The features described below are only available on systems shipped with Microsoft Windows XP. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager included with Microsoft Windows Vista is a more limited version. Check for updates by clicking the Software & Driver Downloads link at http://www.hp.com.

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 system in a single hard 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.
