ExcludeList: Within this section of the registry, you can choose to exclude
software applications from the recovery process initiated by the Rescue and
Recovery program. This GUI exclude list is managed through the registry at:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\ExcludeList.
OSAppsList: The Rescue and Recovery program 4.3 provides the ability to
selectively restore particular files and folders when doing an OS & Apps restore
through the registry key settings:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\OSAppsList
The OSAppsList setting will define what files, folders, or file types comprise the
operating system and applications. This file can be customized by the
administrator and a default external file will be provided. When the user chooses
to recover the operating system, they will see a menu that allows them to choose
Restore.
Only with the following Windows options: Only files that match the rules
contained in this external file will be restored. The administrator can customize the
contents of this external file.
Trouble ticket
Because there is no way to transmit information through file transfer or e-mail
from the Rescue and Recovery environment, the end user is directed to use the
e-mail function integrated in the browser. The logging function packages the log
events into a file, and directs the end user to e-mail the file after he or she
completes the recovery process and logs onto Windows. The file received from the
end user creates the Req 115 Trouble Ticket XML file, which combines (Current, HW,
InvAgent, and PCDR diagnostic log information), and will be placed in a location
which can be easily found and accessible from both the Rescue and Recovery
environment and operating system – C:\SWSHARE.
The Diagnostics tool available in the Predesktop Area of the Rescue and Recovery
program aids in problem determination. Output from tests performed by the
Diagnostics tool are stored in a manner which can be viewed or transmitted to a
help desk.
Rescue and Recovery interface switching
The Rescue and Recovery user interface provides the option to switch between the
simplified user interface and the advanced user interface. The simplified user
interface has a few basic options, while the advanced user interface has extended
options. By default, you will see the simplified user interface each time the Rescue
and Recovery program is started unless the setting is disabled.
If the Simplified User Interface setting is disabled, the advanced user interface
will be displayed each time the Rescue and Recovery program starts. You can
disable the simplified user interface at the following Active Directory policy:
