On the Windows 7 operating system, the OneKey
®
Recovery Pro program
enables you to do the following:
• Performing backup and recovery operations
The OneKey Recovery Pro program enables you to back up all your hard
disk drive contents including the operating system, data files, software
programs, and personal settings. You can designate where the OneKey
Recovery Pro program stores the backup.
• Using the OneKey Recovery Pro workspace
The OneKey Recovery Pro workspace resides in a protected, hidden area of
your hard disk drive that operates independently from the Windows
operating system. This enables you to perform recovery operations even if
you cannot start the Windows operating system. You can perform the
following recovery operations from the OneKey Recovery Pro workspace.
• Creating and using a rescue medium
With a rescue medium, such as a disc or a USB hard disk drive, you can
recover the computer from failures that prevent you from gaining access to
the OneKey Recovery Pro workspace on your hard disk drive.
For more information, refer to the help information system of the OneKey
Recovery Pro program.
