[. . . ] To make sure you are using the correct WINBOM. INI file, use the registry setting. Rename or delete WINBOM. INI in the HP Backup and Recovery partition, and then reboot WinPE. In the case of reimaging, deleting the WINBOM. INI file is an option, but if you do this when you do not want to re-image, HP Backup and Recovery will not work after WINBOM. INI is deleted. ENWW Installation 7 The workaround involves renaming all the WINBOM. INI files (other than on the X:\ drive since WinPE boots to X:\) before running FACTORY. EXE, and then renaming all the other WINBOM. INI files back after FACTORY. EXE is finished as shown below. Please note that if something goes wrong before WINBOM. INI files are renamed to their original name, other utilities like HP Backup and Recovery Manager will not work. for %%a in (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, y, z) DO if exist %%a:\winbom. ini ren %%a:\winbom. ini winbom. tmp factory ­winpe for %%a in (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, y, z) DO if exist %%a:\winbom. ini ren %%a:\winbom. tmp winbom. ini For performance reasons, the WINBOM.

NOTE: After re-imaging a machine and then attempting to install Backup and Recovery Manager, an computer may not be bootable and may have a blinking cursor on the upper left hand corner. If this occurs, ensure MBR reset when you laid down the operating system image. Managing HP Backup and Recovery Manager The following sections provide information about management of Backup and Recovery Manager. NOTE: You cannot manage HP Backup and Recovery Manager using Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Enforcing policies/scheduling The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides a scheduling utility that after configured, requires no user intervention. HP recommends that the backup schedule be created immediately to ensure continued system and data security. 8 HP Backup and Recovery Manager Administrator Guide ENWW Scheduling is the same for both Desktops and Portables for the following backup types: Entire Drive Backup Recovery Point Manager File and Folder Backup NOTE: You can schedule to an external drive, network, or HP 3-in-1 NAS (Portables only). NOTE: You cannot schedule Recovery Media Creator, as it is a one time operation. There is a weekly reminder that you can indicate to ignore, remind the user later, or never remind again. To eliminate this prompt, reset the MBR to the default value. 10 HP Backup and Recovery Manager Administrator Guide ENWW There are several ways to reset the MBR: Boot from DOS and type: FDISK /MBR or GDISK /MBR (utility available from ghost) Boot to WinPE 2. 0 and type: Bootsect ­nt52 c: /force. WinPE 2. 0 and bootsect. exe are part of the WAIK that you can download from Microsoft. These steps do not alter any other data on the disk. Another option is to erase the disk under WinPE using the CLEAN command available in diskpart. Reminders The following sections provide information about the window that pops-up to remind users to create recovery media. Basic reminder functionality Upon installation, the HP Backup and Recovery Manager will remind the user to create the Recovery Disc Set immediately to ensure that there is a backup in a place other than the primary hard drive. This reminder can be delayed for a week at a time. On the fourth display, an additional option appears that allows you to permanently disable the reminder. Disabling the reminder message You can control the pop-up reminder for creating recovery media. ENWW Reminders 11 If the reminder delay has lapsed, by default HP Backup and Recovery displays a pop-up window when users log in. If you do not want all end-users burning recovery media, contact Post-Sales to get a tool that disables the reminder pop-up window. Additionally, you can change the following registry key to stop the reminder program from running: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Run] "Reminder"=NOTE: HP highly recommends creating the Recovery Disc Set immediately. Backups See the following sections for information about using backups. Offline backups Offline backup/restore is not required. Most backups are created in Windows and recovered offline in a WinPE environment. The exception is "individual file and folder" backups, which can be created in Windows or WinPE and recovered in Windows (but not in WinPE). Sector or file-based backups Backups are sector or file-based as follows: An Entire Drive Backup and the Initial Recovery Point are sector-based backups. Subsequent Recovery Points and individual file and folder backups are file-based backups. Integrity validation To validate the integrity of backups, HP Backup and Recovery Manager uses date, time stamp, file size, and attribute checks. Backups and RAID support HP Backup and Recovery Manager supports hardware RAID (available on Workstations) and semihardware RAID (available on select 2006 Desktop models). [. . . ] Recovery Points prior to the one selected are not deleted. Click Yes and OK to start the recovery process. If you selected the last created Recovery Point, select whether you want to browse the hard drive to select files to preserve, and then click Next. 6. If you chose to preserve files, after the system loads files, select the type of files to preserve, or click Other Files to browse the hard drive and select files.
