Preface - Lenovo ThinkCentre A62 Deployment Manual

Preface

Information presented in this guide is to support Lenovo computers installed with the ThinkVantage®
Rescue and Recovery® program.
The Rescue and Recovery program 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 applying patches to a system when a
restore operation is performed. The Rescue and Recovery program helps reduce IT management costs by
decreasing helpdesk calls and desk-side visits, as well as improving user productivity.
The Rescue and Recovery 4.5 Deployment Guide provides the information required for installing the Rescue
and Recovery program on one or more computers, and also provides instructions and scenarios on the
administrative tools that can be customized to support IT or corporate policies.
This guide is intended for IT administrators, or those responsible for deploying the Rescue and Recovery
program to computers throughout their organizations. If you have suggestions or comments, communicate
with your Lenovo® authorized representative. This guide is updated periodically, and you can check the
latest publication on the Lenovo Web site at http://support.lenovo.com. Click ThinkVantage and then click
the Rescue and Recovery icon to locate this guide.
For information about using various components included in the Rescue and Recovery workspace, refer to
the online help system and user guides that come with the Rescue and Recovery program.
