Updating
You may need to make a major change to your system, such as a service pack update to Windows. Before
you install the service pack, you force an incremental backup on the system and identify that backup by
name by performing the following steps:
1. Create a FORCE_BU.CMD file and push it down to your target systems.
2. Launch the FORCE_BU.CMD file once it is on the target systems.
The contents of the FORCE_BU.CMD file are:
:: Force a backup now
"%RR%rrcmd" backup location=L name="Backup Before XP-SP2 Update"
Enabling the Rescue and Recovery desktop
After realizing the benefits of the Rescue and Recovery program for a period of time, you may want to benefit
from the Rescue and Recovery environment. For demonstration purposes, a sample UPDATE_RRE.CMD
script is provided in the following section that will extract the control file for the Rescue and Recovery
environment, which you can edit and then put back into the Rescue and Recovery environment using
rrutil.exe. See “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31 for more information.
To modify the Predesktop Area, the UPDATE_RRE.CMD script demonstrates several processes:
• Use rrutil.exe to get a file from the Rescue and Recovery environment. The files to be extracted from the
Rescue and Recovery environment are defined by in file getlist.txt.
• Create a directory structure to put files back into the Predesktop Area after editing the appropriate file.
• Make a copy of the file for safe keeping and then edit it.
In this example, you want to change the home page that is opened when an end user clicks the Open Browser
button in the Rescue and Recovery environment. The Web page http://www.lenovo.com/thinkvantage opens.
To make the change, when Notepad opens with the pdaguien.ini file:
1. Change the line:
