• Display the disk space usage of \RRbackups directories.
Predesktop Area directory list
RRUTIL /lx [<path>dirlist.txt]
Create a list of the contents of the \preboot, \minint, or root directories of the Predesktop Area partition
either virtual or type 0x07:
1. The data is written as a text stream of all the files in each sub directory to a file named dirlist.txt in a
directory name supplied by the user, or to the root of drive c:\ if not path is given.
2. This would be the equivalent of the following DOS style command (“dir * /s > c:\temp\dirlist.txt”)
in the directory of interest. Listing of the contents of the root of the PE partition would be “dir * >
c:\temp\dirlist.txt” only. Example output:
Directory of \
10/20/03 00:00:00 AM
42 AUTOEXEC.ICR
03/12/04 00:00:00 AM 42 AUTOEXEC.bat
03/10/04 00:00:00 AM 165 BOOT.INI
08/16/02 00:00:00 AM 53786 COMMAND.COM
12/16/03 00:00:00 AM 222 CONFIG.ICR
12/16/03 00:00:00 AM 222 CONFIG.SYS
04/06/00 00:00:00 AM 655 FINDDRV.BAT
09/17/03 00:00:00 AM 14320 HIMEM.SYS
3. An optional command line input will be a text file to capture the output of this option.
4. Sample command: RRUTIL /lx [<path>dirlist.txt] Note: Enablement of the optional entry may be
deferred to a later release. The following list provides the values for x:
• 1 \preboot
• 2 \minint
• 4 <root of c:\ or root of type 0x07 partition>
Multiple listings would be simple addition of each x. So \preboot and \minint would be a value of
3. dirlist.txt contents:
\minint\system32\drivers*.sys
\preboot\startup\*.*
Get files from Predesktop Area directories
RRUTIL /g <path>getlist.txt <copy to location>
Copy individual files from the \preboot, \minint , or root of the PE partition either virtual or type 0x07:
1. A text file identifies the files that should be copied to a location specified in the command line.
2. The <copy to location> must be an existing directory that will receive the files from the Predesktop Area.
The files will be copied in this directory in same tree structure as they are found in the Predesktop Area.
This will avoid same name files from copying over each other.
3. Sample command: RRUTIL /g <path> getlist.txt <copy to location> getlist.txt contents:
\PELDR
\preboot\startup\Restore.cmd
\preboot\usrintfc\PDAGUI.ini
