HP Backup and Recovery Manager
HP provides free data and system file protection for its business desktops, notebooks, and workstations. With HP Backup & Recovery Manager, you can quickly recover and get back to work when information is accidentally deleted or your operating system is corrupted.
Help your company protect against potentially disastrous data loss. HP Backup & Recovery Manager helps protect the data and system state of your HP computer by taking scheduled snapshots, which can be stored in a protected area on the primary hard drive, a secondary hard drive, a network drive, or on external optical media. Create Recovery Discs (CDs or DVDs) based on the software image shipped from the factory or yoursoftware image that includes your customizations and data. System backup and disaster recovery is now simpler and more powerful for all users, regardless of connectivity.

Easy to run, easy to restore

HP Backup and Recovery Manager is quick and user-friendly. To run, simply go to All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager.

With HP Backup & Recovery Manager, file restoration is easy. To recover a deleted file, simply use the Restore Wizard. For a full system restoration, press the F11 key during bootup and then select "Recover PC" from the menu.

Recovery Discs enable disaster recovery
HP Backup and Recovery Manager saves your computer's software image on Recovery Discs (CDs or DVDs). You have the flexibility to save both the original factory software image that came with your HP computer and your software image that includes your customizations and data. These Recovery Discs enable full recovery of your computer should a critical hardware failure occur.

Since HP now provides this simple tool to create your own Recovery Discs, HP commercial PCs that include HP Backup and Recovery Manager will not include factory restore CDs. HP Backup & Recovery Manager is preloaded on new HP commercial desktops, workstations, notebooks, and tablet PCs introduced starting March 2006.
