Refer to the HP OBDR web site at www.hp.com/go/obdr for more information about using this
feature and compatibility.
Testing for compatibility
We recommend that you perform a full disaster recovery immediately after installation—if possible,
onto a blank hard disk. If you do not have a blank hard disk and do not want to overwrite your

suitable backup applications.
Running HP OBDR
HP OBDR can only be used with backup applications that support one-button disaster recovery and

) for the latest information about software compatibility,
firmware upgrades and troubleshooting before you use HP OBDR.
