12 Backing up, restoring, and recovering in
Ubuntu
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. 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.
Creating a restore image
The Recovery Media Creator allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. You can
create restore image DVDs using DVD±RW optical drives. You can also create a restore image on a USB
device.
CAUTION:
Using Restore completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All files you
have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. The recovery tool
reinstalls the original operating system and programs and drivers that were installed at the factory.
Software, drivers, and updates not installed at the factory must be manually reinstalled. Your data files and
personal files must be restored from a backup.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you create the restore image in the event of a system failure.
Creating restore image on DVDs
You can use Recovery Media Creator or the restore creation software to create a set of system restore discs
using blank, writable DVDs (DVD-R or DVD+R). HP recommends using blank DVD+R discs from a manufacturer
you trust, because these recovery DVDs are so important. You need approximately 3 blank DVD+R discs
available for the restore image. If you use more than one disc, label each disc with the order in which it was
created. Numbering the discs will ensure that you have them in the correct order if you need to restore the
computer to its original factory state.
