File rescue File rescue used before restore, prompts the user for the backup storage location and then the user selects a backup. The Rescue and Recovery program will display the files that the current user is authorized to access. The user then selects the files, folders, or both to be rescued. Excluding the local hard disk, the system will display available file locations where the files can be rescued. The user will need to choose a destination with sufficient space for the rescued files and the system restore files. Operating system and applications Operating system and Applications gives the user the option to select a backup before the system deletes files. Files designated to be deleted are defined by the rules in the registry. When a backup has been selected, the system will restore the files defined by the registry from the selected backup. There are options in the registry file that can specify a program to run before a restore operation or after a restore operation. See the ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for more information about registry settings and values. Notes: 1. Operating system and Applications always use Password Persistence. 2. Operating system and Applications restore is not available from CD/DVD backup. You can add custom tasks to run before and after both Backups and Restores. See ThinkVantage Technologies XML/ADM Supplement for the backup and restore settings. Restore system drive only This function enables you to restore only the system drive to the state when you make the latest backup of the system drive. If you have multiple partitions on your hard disk drive, you have the option to restore only the system drive and leave the other partitions intact. Rejuvenation When you need to rejuvenate your system, the Rescue and Recovery program will optimize system performance by taking a new incremental backup and then defragment your hard disk drive. The rejuvenate process helps eliminate viruses, adware, and spyware, while maintaining your current settings and data. The rejuvenate function is hidden on the user interface starting from the Rescue and Recovery 4.5 program. You can enable the function and get the rejuvenate user interface displayed by setting the ADM file. To rejuvenate your system, do the following: 1. Enable the rejuvenate function and get the rejuvenate user interface displayed by setting the ADM file. For detailed information, see the Rejuvenate setting of the Restore policy in Table 32 "\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\User interface" on page 64. 2. From the Rescue and Recovery interface, click the Restore your system from a backup icon. The Restore your system screen is displayed. 3.

Select the appropriate drive from the drop-down menu of available drives. Backup files on the selected drive are displayed by the Rescue and Recovery interface. b. Select the backup file that you want to use to rejuvenate your system. c. Click Next. d.
