1.3 Creating a Disc Recovery Set
Ä
CAUTION: HP no longer ships the Restore Plus! CD with PCs. Instead, HP Backup and Recovery
Manager is pre-loaded on each system. HP recommends the creation of a recovery CD as soon as the
computer has been set up. Creating the Restore Plus! CD set is important in the event that you ever need
to restore the system hard drive to its factory installed state.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager can create the Restore Plus CD set, This set includes the
Restore Plus CD, the Operating System CD, and any Supplemental Software CDs.
Ä
CAUTION: The Restore Plus CD set will not include any system settings or user data created after the
initial system setup.
T o create the Restore Plus CD set:
1. Click Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager to open
the Backup and Recovery Wizard, then click Next.
2. Select Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover the system.
3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager can be used to back up data and system files to the hard
drive, to network drives, or to removable media, such as CDs, DVDs, or flash media. If data or
system files are lost, deleted, or corrupted, Backup and Recovery Manager allows you to retrieve
data or restore the last good system image.
Ä
CAUTION: HP recommends that a backup schedule be created immediately to ensure continued system
and data protection. Automatic backups can be scheduled using the HP Backup and Recovery Wizard.
Recovery Points, Entire Drive Backups, and File Backups can be automatically backed up without user
intervention. HP recommends scheduling Recovery Points Backups to provide the most comprehensive
coverage.

recovery point may be saved to disc as often as necessary, but only a single copy of the Microsoft
Windows CD can be created, due to licensing constraints.
