Restoring Restoring specific files If your files are accidentally deleted from the hard disk, or if your files become corrupt, restoring specific files is useful. Restoring specific files is also useful if you ever choose to recover the original system. You can only restore specific files that you have backed up before. To restore backup files: 1. Select Computer > More Applications > Tools > Backup Manager Restore. 2. Click the Backup Source menu and select the location of the backup files. 3. Click the Restore Destination menu and select the destination to restore the files. 4. To restore all files from the selected location, click Restore all files. To restore selected files only, click Restore selected files, click Select Files, and then select the files to be restored. 5. Under Restore Point, click the time and date of the backup. NOTE: If multiple backups have been performed, click Use the latest version to restore the latest version. 6. Click Restore to start restoring the files, or click Cancel to cancel the operation. Restoring the original system Restoring allows you to repair or recover the computer to its original factory state. What you need to know ● The restore recovers only software that was installed at the factory. For software not provided with this computer, you must either download the software from the manufacturer's website or reinstall the software from the disc provided by the manufacturer. ● A system restore should be used as a final attempt to correct computer issues. If you have not already tried partial restores (see Restoring specific files on page 70), try them first. ● A system restore must be performed if the computer hard drive fails or if all attempts to correct any functional computer issues fail. ● If the restore media do not work, you can obtain restore discs for your system from the HP website. CAUTION: Restoring completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All files you have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. Restoring reinstalls the original operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed at the factory. Software, drivers, and updates not installed by HP must be manually reinstalled. Personal files must be restored separately from a backup. 70 Chapter 11 Backing up and restoring
