Install Retrospect Express and perform your first backup in less than five minutes. With Retrospect, you can implement a backup plan by answering a few simple questions. Restores are quick and painless. When you need to perform a restore via optical CDs, Retrospect Express automatically locates files even if you do not know which piece of backup media contains the files. Duplicate files and folders to an external hard drive with the push of a button. The duplicate operation copies information from the computer's hard drive to the external hard drive. (For external hard drives with a built-in backup button, duplicates can be initiated simply by pressing the button.) With duplicates, the files and folders on the external hard drive can be easily viewed, manipulated, and restored by using Windows Explorer. The duplication process saves space by overwriting any previous backup data on the external drive and saves time by copying only files that are new or that have changed since the last backup. Back up multiple versions of files and folders. Progressive backups retain prior versions of files and folders and allow you to roll back a computer to any prior point in time before a data-corrupting event occurred. Each time a backup operation is performed, Retrospect Express creates a restore point, which can contain all the information a user needs to retrieve files or restore an entire computer (disaster recovery)-including all operating system files and settings, device drivers, and applications and their settings. Restore points are captured quickly and they provide 100% accurate restores to any point in time that a backup was performed-exceeding the capability of other backup software. 6 www.hp.com Desktop Management Guide
