Factory content/Image Ultra Builder
Factory content/Image Ultra Builder erases the hard disk and reinstalls all of the
factory preinstalled software.
Backups
The following sections provide customization information for Rescue and Recovery
backups.
Scheduling backups and associated tasks
The scheduler is not designed to be specific to Rescue and Recovery; however, the
configuration is stored in the registry. When Rescue and Recovery is installed, it
will populate the scheduler with the appropriate settings.
Here is a description of the structure for the scheduler:
v
Location: Install folder.
Notes:
1.
Rescue and Recovery 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 backing up operation will be cancelled
automatically. The backing up to the USB hard disk drive will be successful
from the second time.
v
Entry for each scheduled task.
v
Script to run.
v
Named pipe to be used for progress notifications. This is an optional setting.
v
Schedule information monthly, weekly, daily, weekday, or weekend - multiple
schedules. Tuesdays and Fridays for example, can be supported by creating two
schedules.
v
Parameters to pass to tasks.
For Rescue and Recovery, perform incremental backups on schedule, with callbacks
before and after the backup.
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:
v
For Schedule Task 1, this key is HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Scheduler\tasks\
task1
v
For Schedule Task 2, this key is HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Scheduler\tasks\
task2
Note:
If the task needs to be shown, add the DWORD value name TaskShow and
set the value to 1 in this key. By default, tasks are hidden.
