HP Backup and Recovery Manager

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile application that allows you to back up and recover the primary hard drive on the PC. The application works within Windows to create backups of Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated manually. Important files can be archived separately from regular backups.

HP Backup and Recovery Manager is preinstalled on the C: drive and creates a Recovery Partition.

Recovery Points and file backups can be copied to CD or DVD discs, while all backups can be copied to network or secondary hard disks.

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

To create the Recovery Disc Set:

1.Click Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager to open the Backup and Recovery Wizard, then click Next.

2.Select Create a set of recovery discs (Recommended) and click Next.

3.Follow the instructions in the wizard.

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.
