HP Disaster Recovery

HP Disaster Recovery is an application that will help you to recover your data and operating system after a hard-drive failure. It is important that you create a Disaster Recovery Set as soon as possible. Should a disaster occur, the information in the Disaster Recovery Set will enable you to return your system to the state it was in at the time you created your Disaster Recovery Set.

Getting Started

The first step in securing the data on your system is creating the Disaster Recovery (DR) Set. The DR Set will contain the information necessary to recover your system. A new DR Set should be created when new hardware or software has been added to your system, or if many changes have been made to your files since the last DR Set was created.

The Disaster Recovery Wizard will guide you through the steps required to create the DR Set with easy-to-follow instructions for protecting your valuable data. Once the DR Set has been created, it will allow you to recover your system should your hard-drive fail, even if your Windows operating system will not start.

When you install HP Disaster Recovery, the program and its folder are
