• Rescue and recovery will not restore backup files it finds when starting

  I recently had a system problem on my Lenovo computer and had to recreate the image. When I try to restore my backup using rescue and recovery (R & R), they prove inaccessible. How to access these backups?

  Details of the options selected in R & R are attached, as an image on the screen of the settings dialog box.

  Running R & R, backups (on an external HDD USB) are visible and can be selected as expected. When the computer restarts in the space of restoration work, after a warning do not turn off the power, you get the error message "the restore has failed because the backup was not found at the specified location. Accept that the computer restarts in Windows. In this case regardless of the options selected at the start of R & R.  Where appropriate I select the USB external storage device in the Setup program and select a backup of those listed.

  I also tried updating all Lenovo utilities, including R & R. The option 'get new updates"errors when downloading the package information Lenovo Service Center (1 on 1) at the helm of the 30% with the error" Exception should not met!

  

  A lot of ongoing issues.  Many Lenovo post deal with each issue. Intel, system update, create a recovery to the USB media.

  For now, I'll address your problems of rescue and recovery. It seems that your system worked well, until a database had records in doubles in it, and you want to use RI to restore a backup on your USB.

  Then you have attempted a return to the factory, which show a lot of questions.

  If I understand your request, you want to restore your system to some time in the past, using a backup RNR. Either last week or 2 months ago. Something that works.

  ===

  RNR will save all partitions on the disk C DD.  It never saves another HARD disk.  2 readers warning has been around for a while. If C and D are on the C drive, HARD drive, it will run through RNR.

  Single file restore only runs on the windows RNR.  But there is no need to restart standalone RNR (pf11 during startup).

  It is ok. At least the RNR version on windows can find and restore your USB /rrbackups, of 5 min or 30 hours. This works.

  ==

  Factory restore installs a RNR version right here. This version probably does not match the version on your USB. If you started the RNR factory with the USB version version, you might expect not found messages.

  ===

  On your system windows today, please state the version installed.  Start using pf11 and indicate the version installed.

  You cannot create recovery media and rescue on the same device. Your luck if anything boots on the USB (other positions).

  Essentially, the RNR standaone version must match the /rrbackups on USB.

  =

  How do restore you to the factory settings? pf11 through the work of rnr or external cd/dvd?

  You are the original owner of the machine?

• N500 Vista and Lenovo rescue and recovery Care do not backup

• Rescue and Recovery NOT DELETE the BACKUPS!

  To resolve this issue, you do what says Andy, but before you do this, restart your computer.

  You try to delete all backups of a sudden? This has been discussed previously, the preferred solution was to remove the last fact backup on its own first, then the others.

• Rescue and recovery lists no backup on USB Iomega eGO drive

  Hello

  I have been using an Iomega eGO external backups USB drive.

  I was able to identify and remove (if necessary) backups in Windows 7 and rescue & recovery running, but I can't get the list of backups at the start of a recovery in rescue & recovery DVD.

  Basically I replaces unencrypted with a SSD hard drive that supports encryption.

  The goal was to use a full backup immediately before removing the HARD drive to restore the complete system.

  At the start of the recovery DVDs, recovery utility & rescue lists not all backups, even when the check box for the list of backups on other systems is checked.

  It makes no difference if the selection of THE places or USB external drive.

  Any ideas?

  Backups are not much good if you can't get back them.

  If my old drive did not then I would be in a worse state than this. I can't say I'm impressed.

  Well, I've finally sorted this issue.

  I tried to create a new recovery disk.

  I even tried the recovery time in Windows and see what backups it detected. Yet once, I drew a blank.

  The question was this:

  On my W510 at least, none of the USB3.0 ports are recognized by Lenovo rescue and recovery software when you select the USB storage device. Once connected to a single USB 2.0 port the USB eGo has been recognized and listed backups.

  Unfortunately, this means a minimum of 6 hours to restore from a full backup!

• Missing from the 40 GB hard drive! (R61) - Rescue and Recovery said there is no backups?

  I have a laptop R61 140 GB running on Windows Vista. It is around the age of 18 months.

  Explorer Windows says that 82 140 GB GB is used.

  When I add each folder I get only 45 GB of used space. All I really on this computer is music 26gig & some vacation photos.

  I had this problem since I first got the computer.

  I looked through discussions here that suggested that the backups can be the cause, and a program called Rescue and Recovery was the problem.

  However, when I opened this program it says that there are no backups available. However, this program is no doubt trying to run on my computer every Wednesday I get a popup saying my computer was turned off and I want to run it (I say no).

  Tools SW file is 2 GB.

  On the windows Explorer when I right-click I see there is something called 'points system recovery', there are many. However, I can't understand it here, where the data is stored, or how I would delete it.

  Please help me because it's very frustrating because I have about 40 GB of music I would like to pass through but right now that uses a lot of my remaining space.

• Rescue and recovery blocks for hours at 0% of backup

  Hello

  My R61 ran quite OK, but slower over time. I got through rescue and recovery made a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive. (I had come back to XP and recently did a total system backup on the external HD). So I haven't started the rescue and recovery, thinking that he should simply reinstall it previously saved system. Alas at step 2 the progress of rescue and recovery, the new generation of the system stopped. Black screen with the message: «backup system is...» 0 % ». Here I wait for hours. Nothing progesses.

  What should I do? Island of 'progress' is already happening for 6 hours! (I see that my external HD flashes from time to time, but the computer does not seem to do anything).

  What should I do? I fear that if I press the power button to restart the computer, I will plant it completely.

  Please help me!

  Thanks in advance

  Rescue and recovery hung several times for hours. Yet, it seemed to work after 20 hours. Puhhhh...

  Lenovo at: Your UI during the rescue and recovery process is ineffective. He left me without any feedback for hours. Almost, I rebooted the computer during critical backups. Here you certainly should help the user to understand what to do and what not. How can I find out, it's OK to have a bar saying 0% progress made for 8 hours.

  Even now, I don't know what to do. The computer restarts, windows is OK. But now I can turn off the computer or is always something during rescue and recovery. The last time, he says, it is step 2 on a total of 5 steps. Is it still now something in the back? The rescue is complete? Where is the message telling me, he did the job.

  All users: be patient, do not hit anything it either by running a rescue and recovery.

  Lenovo: By the way, I had - after installing my computer with xp - makes a backup of the system. that I repeated it several times. When my HD arrived full, I remove some of the older versions, because anyway, I had the newer versions which worked perfectly. Alas, I didn't, which obviously rescue and recovery done a system save, later versions are simply updated. By removing the first version, I lost all the! So, I ended up having no actual backup of a validating at the beginning.  In short: Rescue and Recovery can be a tool very well for an IT expert. For the average user, there are much too many traps. Lenovo: Try to it you like-centered-design user instead of the user Board Chinese garbage, if in the future, you want to keep as «almost IBM» brand name For me, Lenovo - in this regard - is more "almost Chinese It-garbage".

• Rescue and recovery cannot delete backups

  Hello

  I have problem delete old backups with Rescue and Recovery - always when I try to delete them, it seems to work, but it is not, it never ends... I tried to remove one of all backups, only the last or only the oldest or all of them together, but without effect. I have 6 backups about 45 GB together. And by the way that r & R does not well at all - also when I click on optimize backup storage space, it does not work...

  Eventually, it is normal that when deleting old backups, computer seems cold and it takes a long time, but I don't know if it never ends.

  I have the latest version of Windows XP Pro SP3, R & R 4.21.0016 R61.

  Is there a solution?

  Thank you very much!

  V.K.

  Uninstall rescue and recovery of add/remove programs. It will remove the backups in this way.

• Rescue and recovery of backup fails: current drive does not match the previous backup

  I have just rebuild my T60p with a new hard drive for the recovery of Lenovo CD via the rescue and recovery CD. Once the system restore is complete and the laptop running, I took a full backup using Rescue and Recovery. This backup is the C:\ drive which was the only drive I had and was on a USB hard drive.

  In recent days I have the C:\ split in two, giving me a new D: drive, patched all system software, added my own data, and obtained the machine configuration as I want. I've also trashed the R & R hidden partition so I could make a bigger drive D:\ and created my own bootable CD R & R for future use - not that it makes a difference.

  Now, I want to take a second backup with the Rescue and Recovery tool. Naturally I want to back up the disks C:\ and D:\, but the backup fails saying: -.

  "The last backup of this system include the following drive letters: C: .

  Your system is now back up these drive letters: C: d:

  Please define drive letters, as they were before and Christine backup. You may need to exclude partitions created since the last backup. »

  Is there anyway that I can make a backup of disks C:\ so my D:\?

  The only option I see is to delete my previuos backup and I don't want to do because it can be useful in the future if I still want to restore my system to original state manufactured.

  Suggestions anyone?

  Thanks, Iain

  Given that you have saved on an external USB disk your backup will be saved in a

  the folder named RRbackups.  If you rename this file I - think - R & R going to think

  you do not have any backups, so the next backup will be a 'base '. If you

  never have to restore the original of your 'base' backup, rename the folders should allow.

• With the help of Rescue and Recovery to make backups of 3 different machines

  Hello, I have three laptop Thinkpad T400, X 61 and R61i. I want to back up by using an external hard drive. The HD is divided into three partitions, the smallest of X 61, the middle of R61i and most importantly - for T400. I backed up all my laptops in the appropriate partitions (base backups), but now, so I want to make partial backups, they go to the bigger partition (for the T400). Is it possible (and how) do R & R to always use the same partition for each laptop while safeguarding it?

  A few notes, to respond to your previous post:

  (1) Sysprep is used by administrators to deploy and image system to other machines. Basically, the system starts standalone RNR and save the image (drive C and the same HARD drive partitions) on the service partition.  Comment enumeration pleasure has to with additional partitions on the C drive HDD.  For sysprep to work, additional partitions must be of type Extended. The windows PE, is a windows "skimpy" PRE environment. For win7, the EP is based on Vista with a small set of win7 features added.  Thie PE is used for developers (as Lenovo) to install their systems.

  * None of this applies to a user at home like you and me *.

  (2) the logic used in the RNR for the GUI vs bent the advanced GUI are DIFFERENT.

  Example: the user has part C, D and E on C disk HARD drive.  Uses advanced parms to set backup (local) to go to E drive.

  If the backup through the advanced graphical interface, drive E is honored.

  If the backup is performed through simple GUI, the partition with the largest free space is used.

  Note: using the Second HARD drive don't offer NO choice to designate a partition target of \RRbackups.

  (3) view of backups.  It's clearly too.

  When a backup is performed, and RNR is locked on him, it will REFRESH the registry entries for the content of backup.dats in the \rrbackups folder. Subsequent backups of view will probably be read from the registry. That is to say no record of reloading. Simpified mistletoe might once again, just to use the registry, the locks of GUI in the new backup folder.

  (4) your letter removal/restoration

  a: I have no idea how autonomous RNR will react to the 3 folders on the second \rrbackup, IE the part 1, 2, 3.

  b. If rnr backups locked in the wrong \rrbackup folder, you will have a total mess. A symptom of this: you take a basic (full) backup, and the next backup, which should be an incremental, is actually another full backup.  This error could occur if you deleted the wrong letters.

  (5) you have a mess.

  If I save it again this PC, R & R is a point instead of a differential backup<>

  It would take a lot of work on you end to look in the backup files.  Not worth it.

  Again, the simpifed GUI backup use different logic. He likes the larger partition.

  From what you say, you used simplified and got the base of the machine backup 3 all go good part 1, 2, 3.

  Somewhere in this mess, he locked in a \rrbackups without a base backup folder and took another backup.

  who knows.

  ==

  Release notes:

  Review 4
  ----------------
  Location of backup changes when you select a smaller partition through the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program.

  In the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program, you select a partition more small capacity on your local hard drive as the backup location. Then, you switch to the simplified interface to create the backup. However, the backup is created on the partition with the highest capacity.

  To resolve this problem, back up your system in the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program after you have selected the backup location.

  ===

  The solution is the cleanest way to follow. I would always use the GUI advanced for now on.

• Rescue and Recovery backup not file system - without error message

  I use, since 1985 the first IBM, Lenovo then. I was very happy, my next Lenovo will be bought next spring.

  But I'm just very disappointed. Daily tracks of rescue and recovery on the local disk, which later are copied to a backup drive.

  The program has never shown an error on the screen and still run perfectly-, I thought!

  A few days ago, I got a Windows error for the first time. There are a lot of missing files.
  I restored the system on the R & R and reboted. But cannot start.
  With a boot disk, I booted the system and could now see that all the Windows directory was empty!

  Unfortunately, I can not in R & R files see what files and directories contain a backup? Or can you?

  Question 1:

  So I would like to know how if someone can enlighten me.

  Then I started to investigate on what had happened. In c:-Library SWSHARE I found some files that I see is connected to R & R.
  In the engine.log file, I see R & R has written a large number of error lines, of which a part is reproduced below. File dates to 2011 and there are errors all the way

  Question 2:
  Why the program not onscreen when R & R run display errors, so that the user knows there are errors?

  Now I'm sitting at the bottom with a long nose, after 2 days and nights, trying to find a solution and restored the system several times and do not know how the file system works will come back on my PC so normally again.

  Be more happy if someone can tell me how to solve this problem.

  Here is a selection of error lines:

• Question of rescue and recovery, and Client Security solution

  I have a thinkpad edge e220s for home use and I am trying to understand that these two thinkvantage tools will be of no use to me since I'm not on a corporate network or whatever it is (all marketing materials HE mentions admins etc.).

  Is the rescue and recovery just a backup solution with imaging of disk (as ghost)? I use a drobo for all my data storage, so I am not too concerned about backups as the drobo offers redundancy in the event of disk failure. The laptop has a SSD which doesn't have a lot of capacity if I don't want unnecessary tools that will have a lot of space. However if the rescue and recovery offers really useful features then I might consider its installation (and not using the backup feature). I could not make out what marketing materials meant by the solution of a single button for viruses and crashes.

  Second, the client security solution features other than Vault/Manager password on my model? I'm already using the beta version of the new (4) version of password manager which is autonomous and requires no client security solution. Again once the marketing material does not help a user at home like me understand very well.

  Any help will be appreciated!

  Based on your description I don't think rescue & recovery or Client Security Solution any value for you.

• How to reset the password of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery?

  Hi all!

  Here's my problem. Recently I discovered that I forgot my password for Lenovo Rescue and Recovery. I guess when I select the option "Protect your backups with a password", I could change my password for each new backup, whenever I remember my old password or not, but apparently not. So now I could not restore my previous backup and could not make a new one. Y at - it an option to reset the password?

  Thank you and sorry for my English

  Solved. Just uninstall the software, reboot, and install again. Now I can do a backup secure again.

• Rescue and recovery under 64 bit creates a 32-bit Windows 7, why?

  Hello. I have an x 201 with W7 Pro (64-bit) OEM Lenovo. I replaced the hard so I use Rescue and Recovery to have a clean install of W7 and the X 201 good pilots.

  What I did to run enhanced backup and restore and then via Advanced Rescue and Recovery, I launched the option "create rescue media. I followed the instructions and created a rescue media USB that as far as I understand leaves my X 201 as it was when it left the factory.

  I booted from the USB without problems, restore the system and to my surprise it installed Windows 7 but 32-bit 64-bit not. And no drivers (no video, no network, no USB/PCI). I'm lost here. Why is installed 32-bit when all items generated under Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and what about drivers? Why it has not installed drivers?

  Looking at Enchaced backup and restore in my original installation icon, he says "Lenovo Enchanced backup and restore (32-bit)", so I don't know if that creates only the 32 bit instead of 64-bit OS.

  I'll now factory recovery disc option allows to see if that solved the problem.

  At this point, I thought that icon factory recovery disc was the same as the use of "create rescue media", because the two pretend to leave the hard drive in the same way, it was when the laptop has left the factory.

  If someone could clarify the difference between the two: 'factory recovery disk'vs'create rescue media', and also why the last of them creates a 32-bit OS rather than the 64-bit what it was supposed to create

  I will report how it goes with the task of recovery factory disc that I use now.

  Hello

  Quite interresting situaiton and to be honest not usual.

  However, what should happen, once you have created a rescue media, it's that you should have on the end, a single bootable media, using which you can save, etc.

  However, this support of rescue should not contain any OS, it should be only a boneless bootable media. The operating system and the rest should be on a separate stand.

  In the case where you had the original x 64 Bit OS, then using the recovery CD (as you confirmed as) should have restored the system to the State, as you received it.

  I don't understand, why it needs to change the version of the OS to another, when you initially x64Bit.
  Maybe some background info would be useful.

  See you soon
