Command line support

The following sections provide command line support for Rescue and Recovery in addition to Antidote
Delivery Manager.

RRCMD command-line interface

The primary Rescue and Recovery command-line interface is RRCMD. The command is located in the
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\ subdirectory. The following table provides information to
use the command-line interface for the Rescue and Recovery program:

Syntax:

RRcmd commandfilter=filterfilelocation=c [name=abc | level=x] [silent]

Table 27. RRcmd parameters

Command

Result

Backup

Initiate a normal backup operation (must include location and name parameters).

Restore

Initiate a normal restore operation (must include location and level).

List

List files that are included in the backup level (must include location and level).

Basebackup

Initiate an alternative base backup. This is not to be used as a basis for incremental
backups, and must include the location, name and level. The level must be less than
99. If another base backup with the same level already exists, it will be overwritten.

Sysprepbackup

Stage a backup operation in the Pre Desktop Area after the computer is rebooted. The
primary use for this feature is to capture a Sysprep backup.
Notes:

1. In some cases, the progress bar does not move. If this occurs, you can verify

the backup is occurring by listening to the hard disk drive. When the backup is
complete, you will receive a message that the backup is complete.

2. If you are setting a password when creating a Sysprep backup to the network then

the password file will not be written to the backup location until an incremental
backup is taken. The following information provides two work alternate methods:

a. Create a local Sysprep backup and copy the backups to either the network

or the USB.

b. Create an incremental backup to the network or the USB after the Sysprep

backup and either keep or delete the incremental backup.
