How to Restore From an .FDW File

An FBW file is created by the HP Recovery Manager during the process of system backup. It is installed by default on Windows operating systems on HP personal computers, and it is used for personal data file and media backups. To back up from the FBW file, run the HP Recovery Manager. By default, it is pinned to the Windows Start menu.

  Click "Start" on the Windows desktop.

  Select "HP Backup and Recovery Manager." The HP Backup and Recovery Manager wizard will appear.

• 3

  Select "Recover Important Files or the Entire System." Click Next.

• 4

  Select "Recover Individual Files." Click Next.

• 5

  Click "Next" again.

• 6

  Follow the wizard instructions to select the desired files and finish the recovery. Note that you will not be recovering the FDW file itself; this file is simply a backup file that contains an archive of the compressed files.
