Preface
This
guide
is
intended
for
IT
administrators,
or
those
responsible
for
deploying
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
™
program
to
computers
throughout
their
organizations.
The
goal
of
Rescue
and
Recovery
is
to
reduce
costs
by
avoiding
helpdesk
calls,
desk-side
visits,
and
improve
user
productivity.
Rescue
and
Recovery
is
an
essential
tool
that
enables
users
and
administrators
to
restore
backups,
access
files,
diagnose
problems,
and
make
Ethernet
connections
if
the
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating
system
will
not
open
or
run
correctly.
It
also
enables
deployment
of
critical
updates
to
systems
that
are
corrupted
or
off
the
network,
as
well
as
automatically
apply
patches
to
a
system
when
a
restore
is
performed.
This
guide
provides
the
information
required
for
installing
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
application
on
one
or
more
computers,
provided
that
licenses
for
the
software
are
available
for
each
target
computer.
It
also
provides
information
on
the
many
aspects
of
the
tool
that
can
be
customized
to
support
IT
or
corporate
policies.
This
deployment
guide
is
developed
for
IT
professionals
and
the
unique
challenges
that
they
encounter.
If
you

suggestions
or
comments,
