Recovering data If you performed a backup operation using the Rescue and Recovery program, you also have one or more backups stored that reflect the contents of the HDD as it existed at various points in time. These backups might be stored on your HDD, or a network drive, or on removable media, depending on the options you selected during the backup operation. You can use either the Rescue and Recovery program or the Rescue and Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the HDD to an earlier state using any of the stored backups. The Rescue and Recovery workspace on your HDD model runs independently of the Windows operating system. Therefore, you can start it by pressing the Lenovo Care button, F11, or Enter key when prompted during startup. After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery operation, even if you are unable to start Windows. Chapter 4. Recovery options 31

Recovering data
If you performed a backup operation using the Rescue and Recovery
program, you also have one or more backups stored that reflect the contents
of the HDD as it existed at various points in time. These backups might be
stored on your HDD, or a network drive, or on removable media, depending
on the options you selected during the backup operation.
You can use either the Rescue and Recovery program or the Rescue and
Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the HDD to an earlier state
using any of the stored backups. The Rescue and Recovery workspace on
your HDD model runs independently of the Windows operating system.
Therefore, you can start it by pressing the Lenovo Care button, F11, or Enter
key when prompted during startup.
After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery
operation, even if you are unable to start Windows.
