Backup and recovery
Scheduling backups
Use HP Backup Scheduler to schedule backups for the entire
system, for recovery points, or for specific files and folders.
With this tool, you can schedule backups at specific intervals
(daily, weekly, or monthly) or at specific events, such as
system restart or when you dock to an optional docking
station (select models only).
To schedule backups:
1. S e l e c t Star
t > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery >
HP Backup Scheduler.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Performing a recovery
✎
You can only recover files that you have previously backed up. HP
recommends that you use HP Backup and Recovery Manager to
create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up your
computer.
HP Backup and Recovery Manager helps you with the
following tasks for safeguarding your information and
restoring it in case of a system failure:
■ Recovering important files—This feature helps you
reinstall important files without performing a full system
recovery.
■ Performing a full system recovery—With HP Backup and
Recovery Manager, you can recover your full factory
image if you experience system failure or instability. HP
Backup and Recovery Manager works from a dedicated
recovery partition on the hard drive or from recovery
discs you create.
