Chapter 3. Lenovo OneKey Recovery system The Lenovo OneKey Recovery system is software designed to back up and restore your computer. You can use it to restore the system partition to its original status in case of a system failure. You can also create user backups for easy restoration as required. Note: • The OneKey Recovery system is not installed on some models. Please refer to the actual product. • If your computer is preinstalled with a GNU/Linux operating system, Onekey Recovery system is not available. • To utilize the features of the OneKey Recovery system, your hard disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store the system image file and the OneKey Recovery system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons, which explains why the available disk space is less than the stated capacity.  Backing up the system partition You can back up the system partition to an image file. To back up the system partition, do the following: 1 Click OneKey Recovery on the home screen to start the Lenovo One Key Recovery system. 2 Click System Backup. 3 Select a back-up location and click Next to start the backup. Note: • You can choose a back-up location on the local hard disk drive or an external storage device. • The back-up process may take a while. • The back-up process is only available when Windows can be started normally.  Restoring You can choose to restore the system partition to its original status or to a previously created back-up point.
