HP SureStore AutoBackup Administrator's Guide - Not Orderable

disaster recovery The process of restoring a (protected) computer from an unusable
state to its state as of a specific backup date. This involves the
creation of one or more CD-ROMs and possibly a boot floppy by
the backup system administrator. There are several ways to
perform disaster recovery, depending on the type of computer
used and whether it still has network access to its appliance.
Note that any information stored on the computer immediately
before a disaster recovery will be lost (unless included in the
disaster recovery data set).

separately.

temporary files, but could also be private files that the client does
