Single File Restore; File Rescue; Operating System And Applications; Restore System Drive Only - Lenovo ThinkCentre A62 Deployment Manual

Single file restore

Single file restore prompts the user for the Backup Storage location, and then the
user selects a backup. The Rescue and Recovery program will display files that the
user is authorized to access. The user then selects the files, folders, or both to be
restored and the system will restore them to their original locations.

File rescue

File rescue used before restore, prompts the user for the backup storage location
and then the user selects a backup. The Rescue and Recovery program will display
the files that the current user is authorized to access. The user then selects the files,
folders, or both to be rescued. Excluding the local hard disk, the system will
display available file locations where the files can be rescued. The user will need to
choose a destination with sufficient space for the rescued files and the system
restore files.

Operating system and applications

Operating system and Applications gives the user the option to select a backup
before the system deletes files. Files designated to be deleted are defined by the
rules in the registry. When a backup has been selected, the system will restore the
files defined by the registry from the selected backup. There are options in the
registry file that can specify a program to run before a restore operation or after a
restore operation. See the ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for more
information about registry settings and values.
Notes:
1. Operating system and Applications always use Password Persistence.
2. Operating system and Applications restore is not available from CD/DVD
You can add custom tasks to run before and after both Backups and Restores. See
ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for the backup and restore
settings.

Restore system drive only

This function enables you to restore only the system drive to the state when you
make the latest backup of the system drive. If you have multiple partitions on your
hard disk drive, you have the option to restore only the system drive and leave the
other partitions intact.

Rejuvenation

When you need to rejuvenate your system, the Rescue and Recovery program will
optimize system performance by taking a new incremental backup and then
defragment your hard drive. The rejuvenation process helps eliminate viruses,
adware and spyware, while maintaining your current settings and data.
