Why Need to Move HP Recovery Partition to New Hard Drive
HP recovery partition, provided by the supplier, is a particular partition on the system disk and shows as Recovery (D). It includes some system backup image files to restore the system to the factory settings when something goes wrong with the system. The Recovery (D:) drive can be seen in Windows Explorer as a usable drive; you should not attempt to store files in it. Otherwise, the system recovery process will fail.
You may need to clone HP recovery partition to new hard drive due to the following reasons.
- Upgrade system disk: When you get a new SSD or a larger HDD and want to migrate OS to SSD, you have to clone HP recovery partition together.
- HP Recovery Partition protection: In HP computers, this recovery partition is normally created on the system drive. But if the entire disk goes down, you can't resort to the recovery partition to restore the operating system. So to avoid such worst case, it’s necessary for you to copy HP Recovery Partition to new hard drive.
Besides, as the recovery partition on HP computer takes up much space, which accelerates your system disk space consumption and slows down your computer. Therefore, to fix the low space problem, you may need to move HP Recovery Partition to a new hard drive.

- What is the difference between Clone and Backup? In what cases should I use Clone?
-
Clone will copy one disk to another or one partition to another (unallocated space is also supported). Usually, this option is used to upgrade the current disk by creating an identical copy. Backup will generate a .PBD image file containing the selected files or system that can be restored from the .PBD image if needed.
- What is the difference between System Backup and Disk Backup?
-
System Backup will auto-select the system boot related partition(s) as the backup source to make sure the system image can be restored properly. Disk/Partition Backup will allow you to manually select a whole disk or speficy a certain partition as the backup source. You will get the same backup result as System Backup if you manually select the system and boot partitions with the Disk/Partition Backup option.
- As a computer newbie, what features should I use to protect my computer?
-
You can use System Backup to back up the system and boot partitions, use Disk/Partition backup to back up the data partition and add plans to run an automatic backup. If you use the computer frequently or have software that may cause boot failure of the computer, we would suggest you back up the computer every 1 to 2 days. For other situations, you can backup the computer once a week. In addition, you can schedule File Backup to back up the files which are changed frequently.
- What kind of storage service should I use to save my backup images?
-
EaseUS Todo Backup can save backup images to internal disks, external disks, network drives, or free cloud(Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive) and CD/DVD. It is suggested to save the images to the internal/external/network drives to save time as those kinds of disks have a better read-write speed. It is suggested NOT to save the image on the source disk, because once the disk is damaged, all the files on the disk will become unavailable and you will be unable to restore the image.
- As a company network administrator, what features should I use to protect our internal computers?
-
It is recommended that you use the SQL Backup feature to back up your company's SQL server and Exchange Backup feature to back up the Exchange server. In addition, you can execute System Backup to back up the system and boot partitions on every computer and set a plan to execute the backup once a day or twice a week to ensure that the computer can be restored timely when it has boot issues. File Backup feature can be used to back up important user data. If there are a large quantity of computers, you can purchase EaseUS Backup Center to manage the backups on the client computers centrally.
