Backup and recovery

Recover the system

HP Backup and Recovery Manager analyzes the hard drive and

creates a dedicated hard drive recovery partition on the hard drive

large enough to store a copy of the full factory image. You choose

whether you want to store that copy on the recovery partition, on

another drive, or on external recovery discs.

✎Before using HP Backup and Recovery Manager, try repairing

the system by running Microsoft Windows System Restore.

For more information, select Start > Help and Support, and

then search for “System Restore.”

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager allows you to

■�Create recovery discs (recommended). The recovery discs

are used to start up (boot) the computer and to restore the full

factory image (operating system and software) in case of

system failure or instability.

If you don’t have a CD or DVD burner, a copy of the

✎ entire hard drive image can be stored on another hard drive

or on a network drive.

■�Perform a recovery. You can perform a full system recovery

or recover important files from a recovery partition on the

hard drive or from recovery discs that you create.
