Preface
This guide is intended for IT administrators, or those responsible for deploying the
Rescue and Recovery program to computers throughout their organizations. The
goal of Rescue and Recovery is to reduce costs by avoiding helpdesk calls,
desk-side visits, and improve user productivity. Rescue and Recovery is an
essential tool that enables users and administrators to restore backups, access files,
diagnose problems, and make Ethernet connections if the Microsoft

Windows
®
operating system will not open or run correctly. It also enables deployment of
critical updates to systems that are corrupted or off the network, as well as
automatically apply patches to a system when a restore is performed. This guide
provides the information required for installing the Rescue and Recovery
application on one or more computers, provided that licenses for the software are
available for each target computer. It also provides information on the many
aspects of the tool that can be customized to support IT or corporate policies.
This deployment guide is developed for IT professionals and the unique challenges
that they encounter. If you have suggestions or comments, communicate with your
Lenovo authorized representative. Periodically, these guides are updated, so check
