HP SureStore AutoBackup Administrator's Guide - Not Orderable

Note: If you do reboot from the CD-ROM, make sure you cancel from the first

stage of AutoBackup recovery (enter 'N').

Insert the first recovery CD into the CD drive. If there is more than one CD-ROM,

one of them should be labeled as the first to insert.

If you have HP AutoBackup on the new computer, use Windows Explorer to

browse the CD-ROM as normal and click on the Browse CD.CDS program to

view the backup data on the CD-ROM. (You cannot directly browse the backup

data on the Disaster Recovery CD-ROM since it is compressed and secured.) You

may be prompted for a username and password. If so, enter the name and

password of the Backup Account that was used when the CD-ROM was created.

You should now see a screen containing the contents of the data set, similar to the

example below:

Note: If you do not have HP AutoBackup on your new computer, use Windows

Explorer to locate the cdviewer.exe file in the \disk1\agent directory.

Double-click on cdviewer.exe to install the CD Browser program. This

allows you to run the Browse CD.CDS program, as described above.

Select data files or volumes that contain only data files, choose Recover from HP

AutoBackup from the File menu and click on OK to copy the selected files

across to the hard disk. If the volume only contains data files, you can select the

whole volume (it will be restored to the same volume on the new computer). If the

volume contains the operating system and configuration files, double-click on the

icon to expand it and then select the appropriate data files.

The recovery will proceed with the Recovery Progress window on display until all

files are recovered.

Note: If you did not have the AutoBackup Agent, reinstall it when you connect to the

network again from the existing backup account. (Do not create a new backup account.)
