11 Backup and recovery in 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 on 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 on 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.
Note the following when backing up:
●
Store personal files in the Documents library, and back it up regularly.
●
Back up templates that are stored in their associated programs.
●
Save customized settings that appear in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot
of your settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.
To create a backup using Backup and Restore:
NOTE: Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.
