Restore methods
The Windows Business Vista operating system can be reinstalled using the HP RestorePlus! process. The Windows XP Professional operating system can be reinstalled using the RestorePlus! process or the HP Backup and Recovery Manager.
●RestorePlus!
The RestorePlus! process reinstalls the Windows operating system and device drivers (for devices included with the system) to a
●HP Backup and Recovery Manager (HPBR) Recovery Point
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager application can be used to capture and restore the contents of the system partition. It captures a snapshot of the system partition and stores it in a Recovery Point. Everything on the system partition at the time the recovery point was made is saved.
NOTE: HP Backup and Restore is only supported on the HP xw6600 and xw8600 Workstations.
The Recovery Point is saved to the hard drive and can be burned to media for safekeeping.
CAUTION: These methods restore the operating system, but not data. Data must be backed up regularly to avoid loss.
