Backing up the entire hard drive
When you perform a complete backup of the hard drive, you
are saving the full factory image, including the Windows
operating system, software applications, and all personal
files and folders.
✎
A copy of the entire hard drive image can be stored on another
hard drive, on a network drive, or on recovery discs that you create.
✎
This process may take over an hour, depending on your computer
speed and the amount of data being stored.
To back up your entire hard drive:
1. S e l e c t Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery >
HP Backup and Recovery Manager.
2. Click Next.
3. Click Back up to protect system settings and important
data files, and then click Next.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Creating recovery points
When you back up modifications since your last backup, you
are creating system recovery points. This allows you to save a
snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You
can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse
subsequent changes made to your system.
The first system recovery point, a snapshot of the entire image,
is automatically created the first time you perform a backup.
Subsequent recovery points make a copy of changes made after
that time.
