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 at system restart or when you dock to an optional docking station (select
models only).
To schedule backups:
1. Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > HP Backup Scheduler.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Performing a recovery
NOTE: 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.

To perform a recovery from the recovery discs, follow these steps:
1. Back up all personal files.
2. Insert the first recovery disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
