HP Backup and Recovery Manager
CAUTION: HP no longer ships the Restore Plus! CD set with PCs. Instead, HP Backup and
Recovery Manager is pre-loaded on each system. HP recommends that you create a recovery
CD set as soon as you have set up the new computer. 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.
CAUTION: The Restore Plus! CD set will not include any system settings or user data created
after the initial system setup.
To 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.
In addition to allowing you to create the Restore Plus! CD set, 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.
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 Manager Wizard. Recovery Points, Entire Drive Backups, and File
Backups can be automatically backed up without user intervention. HP recommends scheduling
Recovery Point Backups to provide the most comprehensive coverage.
NOTE: If HP Backup and Recovery Manager is preinstalled, the Restore Plus! CD set and the
initial 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.
You can access a user manual at Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and
Recovery Manager Manual. We suggest that you print this document for easy reference in case
of future emergency.
If Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover the system is unavailable on
your system, the HP Restore Plus! CD set can be obtained through product support on
