1.3  Creating a Disc Recovery Set

Ä

CAUTION: 

HP no longer ships the 

Restore Plus!

 CD with PCs. Instead, HP Backup and Recovery 

Manager is pre-loaded on each system. HP recommends the creation of a recovery CD as soon as the 

computer has been set up. Creating the 

Restore Plus!

 CD set is important in the event that you ever need 

to restore the system hard drive to its factory installed state.

HP Backup and Recovery Manager can create the 

Restore Plus

 CD set, This set includes the 

Restore Plus

 CD, the Operating System CD, and any Supplemental Software CDs.

Ä

CAUTION: 

The 

Restore Plus

 CD set will not include any system settings or user data created after the 

initial system setup.

T o create the 

Restore Plus

 CD set:

1. Click 

Start > HP Backup and Recovery > HP Backup and Recovery Manager

 to open 

the Backup and Recovery Wizard, then click 

Next

.

2. Select 

Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover the system.

3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager can be used to back up data and system files to the hard 
drive, to network drives, or to removable media, such as CDs, DVDs, or flash media. If data or 
system files are lost, deleted, or corrupted, Backup and Recovery Manager allows you to retrieve 
data or restore the last good system image.

Ä

CAUTION: 

HP recommends that a backup schedule be created immediately to ensure continued system 

and data protection. Automatic backups can be scheduled using the HP Backup and Recovery Wizard. 

Recovery Points, Entire Drive Backups, and File Backups can be automatically backed up without user 

intervention. HP recommends scheduling Recovery Points Backups to provide the most comprehensive 

coverage.

✎

If HP Backup and Recovery Manager is preinstalled, the 

Restore Plus

 CD set and the initial 

recovery point may be saved to disc as often as necessary, but only a single copy of the Microsoft 
Windows CD can be created, due to licensing constraints.
