HP Client Catalog for SMS
Update management is an important function of maintaining any set of computers, from a single PC to
an enterprise datacenter. The ability to identify which updates exist—and selectively deploy those
updates in a timely and automated manner—can help maintain security and productivity for the managed
organization. HP now offers a mechanism to streamline updates for HP systems within a Microsoft
System Management Server management infrastructure. The HP Client Catalog for SMS contains
software driver and patch information for desktop, mobile and workstation platforms. With SMS 2003
R2 and Inventory Tool for Custom Updates, organizations can integrate and deploy HP software updates
quickly and easily, based on detailed platform characteristics that the HP Client Catalog for SMS
provides to target appropriate client systems within the managed enterprise.

HP Backup and Recovery Manager
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile application that allows you to back
up and recover the primary hard drive on the PC. The application works within Windows to create
backups of Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to occur
automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated manually. Important files can be archived
separately from regular backups.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager is preinstalled on the hard drive's Recovery Partition.
Recovery Points and file backups can be copied to CD or DVD discs, while all backups can be copied
to network or secondary hard disks.
HP highly recommends that you create a Recovery Disc Set immediately before using the computer
and schedule regular automatic Recovery Point backups.
