8 Backup and recovery
To protect your information, use Windows backup and restore utilities to back up individual files and folders, back up your entire hard drive, create system repair media (select models only) by using an optional external flash drive, or an optional external optical drive, or create system restore points. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your tablet.
1.Swipe from the right edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Search, and then tap the search box.
2.In the search box, type restore, and then select from the list of displayed options.
NOTE: For detailed instructions on various backup and restore options, perform a search for these topics in Windows Help and Support.
In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later use.
NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your tablet. You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or changing Windows settings. For more information, see Windows Help and Support.
Backing up your information
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. You should create system repair media and your initial backup immediately after initial system setup. As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.
For more information on the Windows backup features, see Windows Help and Support.
