To replace a file in a base backup, do the following:
1. Modify the file you want to replace in the base backup, for example, C:\install.log.
2. Create a file named file.txt in the root of the C:\ directory.
3. Edit the file.txt file and add the following path for the file you modified: R=<full path to the file you
modified>. The following provides an example:
R=c:\install.log
Note: You must have the file.txt file closed.
4. Run

How to restore a backup from specific system
The Rescue and Recovery program now supports to store the backup data of multiple computers on
one storage device. The various backups are differentiated by the unique uuid command. If you want to
restore a specific backup, do the following:
Note: Suppose the backups are stored in a USB storage device.
1. Retrieve value of UUID and Index. You can get the value of UUID and Index of the backups stored in the
USB storage device, by executing either of the following commands:
•
rrcmd listsystem location=U
•
rrcmd listsystem location=U listbackup
2. Select your backup to restore. For example, the command below is to restore the first backup (index=1)
that is level=2:
rrcmd restore location=U index=1 level=2
CLEANDRV.EXE
The cleandrv.exe file cleans all files on the drive. There will be no operating system after running this
command. See “Scenario 5 - Performing a Bare Metal Restore from an Admin Backup” on page 50 for
more information.
CONVDATE
The CONVDATE utility is provided as part of the Rescue and Recovery Administration tools. This utility is
used to determine the HEX values of date and time and to convert date and time values into HEX values, and
can be used to set a custom date and time in a backup field of the registry.
