Rescue

and

Recovery

customization

Before

you

install

Rescue

and

Recovery,

you

should

understand

the

customization

available

for

Rescue

and

Recovery.

Previously,

Rescue

and

Recovery

was

customized

with

tvt.txt

files.

Lenovo

has

updated

customizing

techniques;

therefore,

customizations

are

done

through

the

registry

and

with

the

rnrdeploy.xml

file.

Once

the

default

rnrdeploy.xml

file

is

customized

and

installed,

settings

for

Rescue

and

Recovery,

are

managed

with

the

registry.

You

can

get

the

default

rnrdeploy.xml

file

by

executing

the

Download

Rescue

and

Recovery

and

Client

Security

Solution

Toolkits

at

http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo

&lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN

If

you

are

installing

Rescue

and

Recovery

over

previous

versions

the

settings

will

be

migrated

from

the

tvt.txt

files

to

the

registry.

Lenovo

has

created

a

supplement

document

to

this

deployment

guide

that

provides

the

values

and

descriptions

for

each

setting

of

the

rnrdeploy.xml

file.

This

supplement

contains

information

for

both

the

rnrdeploy.xml

file

and

the

settings

used

by

Active

Directory.

This

supplement

can

be

downloaded

from

the

Lenovo

Web

site

located

at

http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo

&lndocid=MIGR-66930

more

information

about

Active

Directory,

Directory

Support”

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.

v

Entry

for

each

scheduled

task.

Script

to

run.

v

Named

pipe

to

be

used

for

progress

notifications.

is

an

optional

setting.

v

information

monthly,

weekly,

daily,

weekday,

or

weekend

-

multiple

schedules.

Tuesdays

and

Fridays

for

example,

two

schedules.

v

Parameters

to

pass

to

tasks.

For

Rescue

and

Recovery,

incremental

backups

on

schedule,

with

callbacks

before

and

ADM

file,
