Notes:

1. The Rescue and Recovery program synchronizes backups from the primary backup location to the

secondary backup location (a USB hard disk drive, second hard disk drive, or network drive). The
previous backups on the secondary backup location will be overwritten after the synchronization.

2. When creating a backup to a USB hard disk drive for the first time through the simplified user

interface, the backup operation will be cancelled automatically. Backing up to the USB hard disk
drive will be successful from the second time.

• Entry for each scheduled task.

• Script to run.

• Named pipe to be used for progress notifications. This is an optional setting.

• Schedule information monthly, weekly, daily, on weekdays, or on weekends - multiple schedules.

Tuesdays and Fridays, for example, can be supported by creating two schedules.

• Parameters to pass to tasks.

For the Rescue and Recovery program, perform incremental backups on schedule, with callbacks before
and after the backup operation.

In the Rescue and Recovery ADM file, there is an option to configure the Schedule Task 1 and Schedule
Task 2
settings. The following registry keys must be added for the scheduled tasks:

• For Schedule Task 1, the key is:

HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Scheduler\tasks\task1

• For Schedule Task 2, the key is:

HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Scheduler\tasks\task2

Note: If the task needs to be shown, add the DWORD value named TaskShow and set the value to 1 in
the key. By default, tasks are hidden.

Mapping a network drive for backups

The mapping network drive function relies on the registry settings located at:

HKLM\Software\Lenovo\MND

The Universal Naming Convention entry contains the computer name and share of the location you are
attempting to attach.

The NetPath entry is output from the mapdrv.exe file. It contains the actual name that was used when
making the connection.

User and Pwd entries are the username and password entries. They are encrypted.

The following is an example entry for mapping a network drive:

UNC=\\server\share

NetPath=\\9.88.77.66\share
