Table 23. RRcmd parameters (continued) Command Result level=x Where x is a number from 0 (for the base) to maximum number of incremental backups (only used with the restore option. For backup commands, the level=x command is only required if performing an administrator backup (equal to or greater than 100, for example). Notes: 1. To restore from the latest backup, do not provide this parameter. 2. All backup and restore features are routed through the service so that the appropriate sequencing can be maintained, callbacks are performed, for example. The backup command is replaced with the command-line options.) Osfilter This command is used only with the restore command. It uses the registry settings for OsAppsList to filter files being restored. This command line entry can be used to do an OsApps restore. uuid & index The uuid command is the identifier of system with backups, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between index and uuid. The value is retrieved by using the listsystem parameter. listsystem List the value of uuid and index of stored backups in the backup location. For example: rrcmd listsystem location=U listbackup The listbackup command must be used with listsystem. It displays more detailed backup information. For example: rrcmd listsystem location=U listbackup How to replace a file in a base backup To replace a file in a base backup, do the following: 1. Modify the file you want to replace in the base backup, for example, C:\install.log. 2. Create a file named file.txt in the root of the C:\ directory. 3. Edit the file.txt file and add the following path for the file you modified: R=. The following provides an example: R=c:\install.log Note: You must have the file.txt file closed. 4. Run RRCMD Changebase filename=c:\file.txt drive=c: destination="c:\RRBACKUPS" Note: You can check the size change of the single file restore operation in the user interface. How to restore a backup from specific system The Rescue and Recovery program now supports to store the backup data of multiple computers on one storage device. The various backups are differentiated by the unique uuid command. If you want to restore a specific backup, do the following: Note: Suppose the backups are stored in a USB storage device.

Table 23. RRcmd parameters (continued)
Command
Result
level=
x
Where
x
is a number from 0 (for the base) to maximum number of
incremental backups (only used with the restore option. For
backup commands, the level=
x
command is only required if
performing an administrator backup (equal to or greater than 100,
for example).
Notes:
1.
To restore from the latest backup, do not provide this
parameter.
2.
All backup and restore features are routed through the service
so that the appropriate sequencing can be maintained,
callbacks are performed, for example. The backup command is
replaced with the command-line options.)
Osfilter
This command is used only with the restore command. It uses the
registry settings for OsAppsList to filter files being restored. This
command line entry can be used to do an OsApps restore.
uuid & index
The
uuid
command is the identifier of system with backups, and
there is a one-to-one correspondence between
index
and
uuid
. The
value is retrieved by using the
listsystem
parameter.
listsystem
List the value of
uuid
and
index
of stored backups in the backup
location. For example:
rrcmd listsystem location=U
listbackup
The
listbackup
command must be used with
listsystem
. It
displays more detailed backup information. For example:
rrcmd listsystem location=U listbackup
How to replace a file in a base backup
To replace a file in a base backup, do the following:
1.
Modify the file you want to replace in the base backup, for example,
C:\install.log.
2.
Create a file named file.txt in the root of the C:\ directory.
3.
Edit the file.txt file and add the following path for the file you modified:
R=<full path to the file you modified>. The following provides an example:
R=c:\install.log
Note:
You must have the file.txt file closed.
4.
Run
RRCMD Changebase filename=c:\file.txt drive=c: destination="c:\RRBACKUPS"
Note:
You can check the size change of the single file restore operation in the
user interface.
How to restore a backup from specific system
The Rescue and Recovery program now supports to store the backup data of
multiple computers on one storage device. The various backups are differentiated
by the unique
uuid
command. If you want to restore a specific backup, do the
following:
Note:
Suppose the backups are stored in a USB storage device.
