Rescue and Recovery will restore all of the disk?

I searched high and low for an answer to this question, but I'm not. I have use Rescue and Recovery to back up the drive of my laptop. If I have a problem of catastrophic disk, save and recovery will restore my entire drive to a new drive, including the service partition? I have a fully functional and updated disc to date after a full restore? (Guess that I restore using a floppy disk to boot Rescue and Recovery, which have I already have.)

Well, I decided that I have a couple of hours on my hands and a fresh backup using rescue and recovery (in order to test whether or not he backs up the recovery partition) and a Windows Vista "complete PC Backup" (in this case that it fails).

The result: Yes, when you restore a recent backup, it will also restore the recovery partition.

I am very happy.

  • 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?

  • Think that rescue and recovery - Vantage won't erase the previous backups

    I use the current version of the tool think Vantage

    Need to make more space for backups, so I had to delete the previous backups.

    It goes into deleting previous backup mode with the red dots transiting via the command prompt.

    But it does not stop... I think I need to reintall the tool, what do you think?

    Thank you

    It seems to work, as usual, I was just excited.

  • 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 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!

  • 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".

  • USB hard drive not recognized in rescue and recovery

  • Use 'restore factory of Rescue and Recovery' to upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7

    I have 6 GB of ram on my Lenovo SL410. It runs win 7 32-bit.

    Can I use "restore factory Rescue and Recovery" to perform the installation of win 7 64 bit?

    Your recovery DVDs are listed here:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-SL-series-laptops/ThinkPad-SL...

    I guess if your recovery partition factory is win 7, 32 bit, it will restore win 7, 32 bit.

    You can order the win7 64 bit DVD for about $50 US recovery.

  • 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.

  • How to use the rescue and recovery and product recovery discs?

    Hello world

    I just recently became a new owner of a T61 and really enjoy. I did have a chance yet to test the hotline of lenovo, as I've not yet screwed anything up if badly needing their help. I tried a factory clean reinstall from the service partition and it worked fine. I would like to know, how one uses it the rescue and the recovery boot disk and the recovery disks of the product I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I didn't insert the one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But the ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring a State own factory using these disks, can I use with rescue and recovery first, followed by the recovery of product? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

    1. Place the rescue and recovery disc in the drive, and then restart.  This disc contains the same program that you used when you restored your system from the service partition.  Once the program is loaded, you will see the same screen with the same options as before.
    2. Choose to restore your system as you did with the service partition.  You will not see an option to do a custom restore.  When the program is run from the disk, it automatically performs a full restore.
    3. The program will rebuild the service partition and copy the program files on him.  When you are prompted, insert the product recovery disks.  The compressed system and application files contained on these discs will be copied to the new service partition.  Once the copy process is completed, your system will be restored from the service partition.
    4. After restoration, you will be able to make a new set of recovery discs if you wish.  You will also be able to do a restore custom through the service partition.
