Lenovo ThinkPad R61i - Manual (Page 26)

File rescue
File rescue used before restore, prompts the user for the backup storage location
and then the user selects a backup. Rescue and Recovery will display the files that
the current user is authorized to access. The user then selects the files, folders, or
both to be rescued. Excluding the local hard disk, the system will display available
file locations where the files can be rescued. The user will need to choose a
destination with sufficient space for the rescued files and the system restore files.
Operating system and applications
Operating system and Applications gives the user the option to select a backup
before the system deletes files. Files designated to be deleted are defined by the
rules in the registry. When a backup has been selected, the system will restore the
files defined by the registry from the selected backup. There are options in the
registry file that can specify a program to run before a restore or after a restore. See
the ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for more information about
registry settings and values.
Notes:
1. Operating system and Applications always use Password Persistence.
2. Operating system and Applications restore is not available from CD/DVD
backup.
You can add custom tasks to run before and after both Backups and Restores. See
ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for the backup and restore
settings.
Rejuvenation
When you need to rejuvenate your system, the Rescue and Recovery program will
optimize system performance by taking a new incremental backup and then
defragment your hard drive. The rejuvenation process helps eliminate viruses,
adware and spyware, while maintaining your current settings and data.
To rejuvenate your system, complete the following steps:
1.
From the Rescue and Recovery interface, click the Restore your system from a
backup
icon. The Restore your system screen is displayed.
2. On the Restore your system screen, select Rejuvenate your system.
3. Choose the drive and backup that you want to use to rejuvenate your system
by completing the following procedure:
a.
Select the appropriate drive from the drop-down menu of available drives.
Backup files on the selected drive are displayed by the Rescue and
Recovery interface.
b. Select the backup file that you want to use to rejuvenate your system.
c. Click Next.
d. Confirm that the selected backup is the one that you want to use to
rejuvenate your system, and then click Next to begin the restoration process.
Note: Do not power off your computer during this operation.
e. Click OK. A progress bar is displayed.
You can add custom tasks to run either before or after a rejuvenation. See the
ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for the rejuvenation settings.
