https://community.hpe.com/t5/automated-backup/hp-backup/m-p/942392#M989 Yes, hello.<BR /> <BR /> I have a few questions about the HP Backup process. I hope that you don't mind! I know that this isn't very Techinical!<BR /> <BR /> At any rate, I've just completed the HP Recovery Backup and put them of CD's...<BR /> <BR /> Then I did the Entire Drive (c:) backup and that I put on the c drive which was 12GB...<BR /> <BR /> And finally I did the File Backup which I also put on the c drive....<BR /> <BR /> --------<BR /> <BR /> My questions are this:<BR /> <BR /> 1. Is it necessary to do a file backup since I already did an entire disk backup? Does one cancel the other in other words, or am I right in doing the file backup as well.<BR /> <BR /> 2. With the System Restore Backup on CD's I needen't schedule another Backup since they are just the System disks, Once is enough, Right?<BR /> <BR /> 3. With the 'scheduled backups' I'm assuming that I should do so with the File backups... since that is what changes... or can I just get away with doing a new backup for the entire disk?<BR /> <BR /> thanks... It is a bit confusing as the Hp manual on the hp backup doesn't really explain things much... Also the Windows backup system shows up during the process further adding to the confusion...<BR /> <BR /> clay Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:54:45 GMT Clay Brown 2008-04-23T14:54:45Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/automated-backup/hp-backup/m-p/942392#M989 Yes, hello.<BR /> <BR /> I have a few questions about the HP Backup process.
