Express Repair

Also known as Fast Restore, Express Repair monitors and fixes operating system
files from an alternate boot environment if they have changed or been corrupted
outside of normal operating system by file corruption, or a virus. After Rescue and
Recovery is installed and after a Windows operating system update, Express
Repair stores the latest copy of each critical file including the checksum behind the
Rescue and Recovery filter driver in its own database. Monitored files are listed in
KernelFile.xml. The Express Repair database is located in the following path:

C:\RRBackups\FR

Express Repair supports the following operating systems:

v

Windows XP

v

Windows Vista 32 bit

v

Windows Vista 64 bit

During restore operations launched from Windows or the preboot environment
such as Quick Restore, Rejuvenation, or Full Restore, Express Repair files and
checksums are deleted to avoid mismatching of operating system files. As a result,
Express Repair stores all critical files and associated checksums after the next boot
into the operating system. When a user boots to Windows PE, checksum compares
critical operating system files. If a difference is detected, the user is prompted
update files based on the latest version in the database, or boot to Windows. If a
difference is not found, or if database not found, Express Repair exits and continue
boot into Windows PE.

You can turn on or turn off Express Repair by setting the following policy in
Group Policy:

ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\Fast Restore

If this value is Enabled or not set, then Express Repair will run normally in the
