Windows 7 backup and recovery To protect your information, use Windows Backup and Restore to back up individual files and folders, back up your entire hard drive (select models only), or create system image discs. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your computer. Windows Backup and Restore provides the following options: ● Backing up individual files and folders ● Creating a system image (select models only) ● Scheduling automatic backups (select models only) ● Recovering individual files ● Restoring the computer to its factory state NOTE: For detailed instructions, perform a search for these topics in Help and Support. NOTE: In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later use. Backing up your information Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. You should create system image discs (select models only) and your initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. Your initial and subsequent backups allow you to restore your data and settings if a failure occurs. You can back up your information to optical discs, using an external USB optical drive (purchased separately), to an optional external hard drive, or to a network drive. Note the following when backing up: ● Store personal files in the Documents library, and back it up regularly. ● Back up templates that are stored in their associated programs. ● Save customized settings that appear in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences. To create a screen shot: 1. Display the screen you want to save. 2. Copy the screen image: To copy only the active window, press alt+prt sc. To copy the entire screen, press shift+prt sc. 3. Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste. The screen image is added to the document. 4. Save the document. Windows 7 backup and recovery 69
