Re: EX490 Recovery Disc
I have two CD's that came with my EX490. "Server Recovery Disk" and "PC Restore Disk". If you have no luck getting copies from HP I can make copies and send them to you.

Re: EX490 Recovery Disc
Would you be so kind as to make the copies? I have the option of having you upload the copies to my server if you'd like via FTP?

Re: EX490 Recovery Disc
Sure, I can upload them to your FTP if you like. I have two CD's. One is the recovery CD you run on your PC when you want to restore your PC from the server. The other is the recovery CD for the server itself. I had to use that because one of the hard drives in the server crashed.
It is NOT intuitive how to run the Server Recovery process. I did manage to get thru to HP and had a tech talk me through it. I wrote all the instructions down so I can send them along, too. Since you have not ever used the server, you would use the "Set to Factory Default" recovery since there is no data you need to save on the Server. You can email your FTP info to me at personal info erased so you won't have to post passwords on a BBS.
Regards,
Tom

Re: EX490 Recovery Disc
Mr.Hayes,
I Too have the Same Issue that Jvoytko has... i'm a Pc repair Tech and i acquired my EX490 from a auction
and it did not have any drives in it or discs.... so when i went searching the internet for recovery discs i was kinda shocked to find out you can't get them anymore, so while searching the internet i found your post here ... so i would like to ask if would be willing to upload a copy of your cd's as well...i do have Gmail and i also have Dropbox...and i would be willing to compensate you for your time , as i'm trying to set this server up in my home to handle all my tech files that i use for my workbench.
if it's not too much trouble , you can email me at
**personal info erased**
and I'll get together with you or i can give you my number or vice-versa and go from there.
would very much appreciate getting a copy of those discs so i can get my Ex490 up and running.
Thank You ,
Daniel j Watkins.

SolutionTo anyone with an HP 490 Server "I can't find the CD's problem". I created disk images of the three CD's that come with the server.
The three disks are:
Server Recovery Disk - for regenerating the Server OS
PC Restore Disk - for recovering PC from server. Boot from this disk in PC to start recovery
Software Installation Disk - for installing the backup Software on the PC
********New File Location******************
Apparently Dropbox decided too may people were accessing these files so they blocked my account. I've reposted the disk images on Google Drive at the link below. All the other instructions are the sme.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzRIeI12rXCDNXNlWFdzY29JYm8&usp=sharing
Use CD burning software that will create a CD from an ISO image and you can recreate the HP distribution disks. Scans of the CD labels are included so if you're a neatnick you can print the disk label for the disk.
You have to go through some gymnastics to re-load the OS in the server. Here's how to do that.
I also included a PDF of the user's guide. This explains how to get the server into recovery mode. This requires the use of a paperclip. As well as misc documentation I downloaded from MS regarding the Home Server software.
Once you reinitialize the server you have to reinstall the software on your PC that talks to the server. Use the Software Installation disk for that.
The third disk is for recovering your PC from the server after your PC burps. You restart your PC and boot from this CD and it will guide you through the recovery.
Guys, this note is the result of many calls to HP tech support to figure out how to reinitialize the server. HP does notr make it obvious when calling tech support that you want help with the Home Server. That's not one of the choices on the voice menu. If you need to talk to tech support and get stuck with the voice menu, the device you want help with is either "Media Vault" or "MediaSmart" server. That will get you to a tech who knows what he's doing.
Good Luck,
