Mapping A Network Drive For Backups - Lenovo ThinkCentre A62 Deployment Manual

were taken using Sysprep. Rejuvenating or restoring the operating system and
applications will not work with a Sysprep base backup.

Mapping a network drive for backups

The mapping network drive function relies on the registry settings located at
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\MND.
The Universal Naming Convention entry contains the computer name and share of
the location you are attempting to attach.
The NetPath entry is output from the mapdrv.exe. It contains the actual name
which was used when making the connection.
User and Pwd entries are the username and password entries. They are encrypted.
The following is an example entry for mapping a network drive:
UNC=\\server\share
NetPath=\\9.88.77.66\share
User=11622606415119207723014918505422010521006401209203708202015...
Pwd=11622606415100000000014918505422010521006401209203708202015...
For deployment, this file can be copied onto multiple computers that will use the
same user name and password. The UNC entry is overwritten by the Rescue and
Recovery program based on a value in the rnrdeploy.xml file.
Setting up user accounts for network backups
When the RRBACKUPS directory is created on the network share, the service
makes the directory a read-only folder, and assigns it access rights so that only the
account that created the folder has full control over the folder.
To complete a merge operation, MOVE permissions exist for the User account. If
logged in with an account other than the account that created the folder initially,
such as the administrator, the merge process will fail.
