Notes on using VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) : Recover or maintain your
system
Handle rescued files with care to protect from unauthorized access.
Disable the Windows hard disk drive encryption feature before using VAIO
Care (Rescue Mode) : Recover or maintain your system to back up and
restore your data.
However, rescued files which are not encrypted on the built-in storage device
can be easily accessed by unauthorized users using Recovery Media and this
app. Therefore, after using the app, be sure to set the power-on or hard disk
password, enable the Windows hard disk drive encryption feature, and keep the
Recovery Media in a secure place to protect rescued files from unauthorized
access.
To restore copyright protected data, such as music files organized by digital
media playback apps, use a backup tool specified by the app you used to
import such data. Sony does not guarantee the playback compatibility of data
which is not restored with the specified backup tool.
