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.
Using VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) : Recover or maintain your system does not
guarantee backup of all the data on your built-in storage device.
Sony assumes no liabilities for any loss of your data arising out of the backup process.
Use the power cord or the AC adapter to power your VAIO computer while using VAIO
Care (Rescue Mode) : Recover or maintain your system.
Your VAIO computer automatically restarts 72 hours after VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) :
Recover or maintain your system starts. If 72 hours have passed during the backup
process, the process will be stopped and the computer will restart. There is no way to
resume the process.
Rescued files may be divided into two or more files and saved in a specified location or
renamed, depending on the location you select. Use VAIO Data Restore Tool to restore
the rescued files. [Details]
If an external hard disk drive or optical disc drive does not support the USB connection,
you need to install a driver.
