Using WIM files, ImageX, and Windows 7
Windows 7 deployment is based on disk imaging using ImageX. ImageX utilizes file-based imaging with WIM
files instead of sector-based image formats. Considering this formatting development, use the scenario
in “Scenario 5 - Performing a Bare Metal Restore from an Admin Backup” on page 50 when installing and
deploying the Rescue and Recovery program on Windows 7.
Using Symantec Ghost-based tools with Rescue and Recovery
When you create the Ghost image, you must use the command line switch -ib to capture the Rescue and
Recovery Boot Manager. Also, the image must capture the whole disk and all partitions. Refer to the
documentation provided by Symantec for specific details on Ghost.
Rescue and Recovery environmental variables
The following table contains environmental variables that are created when the Rescue and Recovery
program is installed. These variables can be used when creating scripts or when changing to a desired
