When you run HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, your autoloader goes through the following sequence:
1.
It goes into a special disaster recovery mode that enables it to restore your operating system and
reboot. It acts like a bootable CD-ROM. (Your system’s ability to boot from CD-ROM is normally
enabled by default. If you have changed this setting, you will need to enable it again. Refer to
your system BIOS manual for further details.)
2.
It returns to normal autoloader mode and restores the data.
