Introduction
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile application that allows you to back up and recover the primary hard drive on the PC. The application works within Windows to create backups of Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated manually. Important files can be archived separately from regular backups. Recovery Points and File Backups can be copied to CD or DVD discs, if the appropriate hardware is installed, while all backups can be copied to network or secondary hard disks. All of these features make the HP Backup and Recovery Manager a necessary tool to ensure the security of your data.

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is available in two forms:
1.Shipped preinstalled on the computer
2.Shipped with HP add-on hardware
How to Install
When preinstalled on the computer, HP Backup and Recovery Manager is automatically part of the Recovery Partition and when created, the Recovery Disc Set. This application is already resident on the computer and will be automatically deployed again when the system is recovered.
When included as part of an HP hardware purchase, the HP Backup and Recovery Manager is easily installed by running the setup.exe application from the CD.
