Lenovo ThinkVantage (Rescue and Recovery 4.5) - Manual (Page 49)

No password
This option uses no authentication and allows the user to enter the Predesktop Area without using a
password.
Password access
There are three options for password access:
• Master password
• User ID and password or passphrase
• No password
Master password
The master password is a single password that allows you access to the Predesktop Area and backups. This
is set by using the command line interface, and is the only password option if Client Security Solution is
not installed.
User ID and password or passphrase
This option uses the Client Security Solution code for password or passphrase management. The Client
Security Solution GINA will prompt the user for this password or passphrase on startup of the Predesktop
Area. This provides better security for a multi-user environment. If a user logs on using the GINA, that user is
allowed access to that user’s files only, and no one else’s.
This option can be set through the command line interface or the GUI.
No password
This option uses no authentication.
Log files
The following are log files located in the C:\swshare directory:
• Engine.log Logs all activities of the engine and the main backup service.
• rr.log Logs all activities of the main Rescue and Recovery user interface.
• Restore.log Logs restore operations like full restore, rejuvenate, and single file restore operations.
• tvtsched.log Logs the scheduler service that calls the Rescue and Recovery program and/or InvAgent.
• Rescue.log Logs the activities of the mailman.exe program.
• patch.log Logs the activities of the Rescue and Recovery patches applied to the system.
• sft.log Logs single file restore operations.
Create Rescue Media
The Create Recovery Disc function has been separated from the Create Rescue Media application in the
Windows 7 version of the Rescue and Recovery program, and this makes the Create Rescue Media a unique
function to create the bootable rescue media for virtual Predesktop Area. To enhance user experience, we
provide the following entries to launch the Create Rescue Media program in the Rescue and Recovery
4.5 program:
1. An additional menu button for accessing the Create Rescue Media program is available in the advanced
mode of the Rescue and Recovery program.
2. A shortcut to the Create Rescue Media program is available on the Advanced tab in the advanced mode
of the Rescue and Recovery program.
