Performing a recovery
NOTE: You can only recover files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP Backup and Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up your computer.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager helps you with the following tasks for safeguarding your information
and restoring it in case of a system failure:

Recovering important files—This feature helps you reinstall important files without performing a full
system recovery.
