Recovery The ability to recover from a system problem and to retrieve a file from a backup are important elements of an overall data security program. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides a simple interface for recovering individual files or the entire PC hard drive. Recovery may be performed from a Recovery Disc Set or the Recovery Partition. Recovery Media Creator Creating a Recovery Disc Set is one of the most important things that can be done for PC hard drive security. To access the Recovery Media Creator: 1. Launch HP Backup and Recovery Manager. 2. After the Welcome Screen, select Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover the system. 3. Follow the wizard. This wizard makes it possible to create the recovery discs directly or to save the discs to the hard drive as ISO images. These ISO images can be saved to disc later using another application. Note: This application cannot burn these ISO images to disc once saved to hard drive but will create the Recovery Disc Set and any other backups or Recovery Point discs. The HP Restore Plus! CDs 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. Note: This applies if HP Backup and Recovery Manager was preinstalled. How to Recover The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides two basic recovery methods. The first, recovery of files and folders, operates in Windows. The second, PC Recovery, requires a reboot to the Recovery Partition or from the Recovery Disc Set.
