9 Backup and recovery
Windows 8
To protect your information, use Windows backup and restore utilities to back up individual files and
folders, back up your entire hard drive, create system repair media (select models only) by using the
installed optical drive (select models only) or an optional external optical drive, or create system restore
points. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your computer.
From the Start screen, type restore, click Settings, and then select from the list of displayed options.
NOTE: For detailed instructions on various backup and restore options, perform a search for these
topics in HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant from the Start screen, select the
HP Support Assistant app.
In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for
later use.
NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer.
You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running
utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant
from the Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app.
Backing up your information
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. You should create system repair
media and your initial backup immediately after initial system setup. As you add new software and
data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably
current backup. The system repair media (select models only) are used to start up (boot) the computer
and repair the operating system in case of system instability or failure. Your initial and subsequent
backups allow you to restore your data and settings if a failure occurs.
On Start screen, type backup, click Settings, and then select Save backup copies of your files
with File History.
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive or a network drive.
