HP SimpleSave backup software is not downloadable in the traditional sense. It's designed to run directly from the SimpleSave drive itself. The software was pre-installed on the SimpleSave external hard drive and didn't require a separate installation on your computer. This means you'll need to access the software from the SimpleSave drive itself, not from a download link. My colleague @Dragon-Fur discussed this in this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/Software-or-Driver-for-SimpleSave-Ext....
Here's what you need to do:
Connect your SimpleSave drive: Plug your SimpleSave external hard drive into your computer.
Access the software: Your computer should recognize the drive and the SimpleSave software should automatically launch or be accessible within the drive's folder.
Run from the drive: The backup software runs directly from the SimpleSave drive and does not need to be installed on your computer.
That said, here are two links that may be able to provide the software you are looking for, but you'll do so at your own risk:
