In order to get more space , " compress " your disk. In my OS ( home
premium ), I'll click Computer > highlight recovery disk, right click >
Properties > Compress. Hope that helps.

Can you be a bit more explicit:
What precisely do you mean by "I need to make room for my hp recovery " and
why should that affect your backup?
Where are you wanting to make a backup to, and what disk is full?

I think we need to know what the OP means by "making room for the HP
recovery" first....

The Recovery partirion will be full; that is how it is supposed to be.
It is a factory install of a recovery partition; leave it alone!

It is there for you to either hit an F Key at startup to reinstall, or for
you to make Recovery DVDs in case your HD completely fails.

If you are trying to do a backup of your system(business and ultimate only),
either create another partition to save it to, orsave it to an external HD.

Next time, try putting a few facts here!!!!!!

And there's absolutely NO point whatsoever in creating a backup on a
partition of the same physical HDD....

You should not copy or backup anything to the recovery partition (usually
the D drive). The documentation that came with your PC will show you how to
make recovery disks.
