You can press OneKey Rescue System key to activate Lenovo OneKey Rescue when your PC is turned off. Within the program, you can restore your system partition to the original factory status or to a previously generated backup.

This default partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available disk space is less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space depends on the le size of the mirror image le (based on the size of operating system and pre- installed software.) You can use Restore to Factory Default feature to restore the system partition (C drive) back to the factory default, i.e. the state your computer was when you purchased it. However, once you restore to this status, you will not be able to restore the system to another previously backed up state. Therefore, make sure you back up your critical data on the system partition (C drive) to other media, such as a another disk partition, CD/DVD discs or removable storage devices.

Selecting Full backup backs up your system partition to a folder on the hard disk in order to recover it in the future. The program will save the backed up data to the default location. For example to D:\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey Recovery. You may also select another destination, such as removable storage devices, network drives or a CD/DVD. If you choose to back up system partition to a disc (CD/DVD), the created discs can be used to recover your system to the current status. We suggest you do the following before you create recovery discs: Use the latest version of your system’s anti-virus software to scan your computer and make sure it is virus-free. Optimize your system, including scanning and defragmenting your hard disk drive. Create.Incremental.Backup An incremental backup is a backup of your data based on previous backed up le located in the default path.

Incremental backup can only be saved to the default path; it cannot be backed up to another location.

However, once you do this, you will not be able to restore to a backed up state created after you began using your computer. Therefore, it is recommended that you back up your critical data on the system partition (C drive) before proceeding. Full backup A full backup is a backup of the entire system partition.

Incremental backup An incremental backup is a backup of your data based on previous backed up le, backing up only the new/different data. Incremental backup can save hard disk space and back up time. For ease of management, the incremental backup le can only be saved to the default location. Create recovery disc Burn the backed up system partition data to discs and create recoverable disc(s). This allows you to recover your current system status even if you replace your hard disk in the future.

1. Why can’t I run full back up?

The possible causes are: Case 1 : you are not currently using a Windows operating system (XP/Vista). Case 2 : there is not enough space to store the backed up data. You will need to free more hard disk space on your system partition (C drive). Case 3 : if you are backing up your data to a CD/DVD, make sure you are using compatible burning devices. Case 4 : if you are burning backed up les to CD/DVD, make sure the burning devices are compatible with the CD/DVD discs.

2. Why can’t I run incremental back up?

The possible causes are: Case 1 : you didn’t run full backup in the default path. Please make sure you ran full back up in this path before runing incremental backup. Case 2 : you didn’t select the default path for incremental back up. Incremental backed up les can be only saved to the default path. Please do not specify a different location. Case 3 : the free disk space for the default location is insufcient. Please free more space on that hard drive.

3. What can I do if the back up process fails?

If you can start the back up feature without a problem, but it fails during the back up process, please try the following steps: Close other applications, then restart the backup process. Check if the destination media is damaged, try to select another path and then try again. Recovering.Your.Data

1. When do I need to use the Restore to Factory Default feature?

You can use this feature when your system fails or you need to re-install your operating system. This will restore your computer back to the initial status when you rst booted up your computer after receiving it from the store. By doing this, the data on your system partition will be restored to the factory default. If there is critical data on your current partition, please back it up before you run this recovery feature.

2. Why can’t I use the Restore to Factory Default feature?

If your system partition was modied, such as the partition size or the drive capacity of C was changed by another partition utility, you will not be able to use the Restore to Factory Default feature. Therefore, we suggest that you don’t change the size of that partition to make sure the Restore to Factory Default feature is workable under any circumstance.

3. What can I do if the recovery process fails?

If you can start the recovery feature without a problem, but it fails during the recovery process, this may be caused by one of the following reasons: The backed up les were damaged The disc(s) were physically damaged Other unknown issues In this case, please select other backed up les and try to recover them. If it still doesn’t work, you can use Restore to Factory Default feature to restore your system partition to factory default. Please note your data on system partition will be lost during this restore process.

4. Why can’t I nd the backed up les during recovery process?

In OneKey Rescue System, the disk partition structure is different from Windows system. Therefore you may not be able to nd the backed up data in the Windows backup path. In this case, you can change to another disk partition and try to locate backed up data in the folders of other partitions, then continue to complete the recovery process.

1. How can I create the recovery discs for my current system?

You can use Create Full Backup feature in OneKey Recovery’s Backup section, then choose back up to discs.

2. Why can’t the recovery disc(s) recover the entire hard disk drive?

The recovery discs include the backed up les of the system partition (c partition), instead of the backed up les of entire hard disk drive. Therefore you can’t recover the entire hard disk with the recovery discs you created.

3. Why can’t I use the recovery disc(s)?

When you create recovery discs, please use reliable discs, or the backed up data may be damaged. When you use the recovery discs, please follow the instructions to insert backup discs. Back.Up.My.Data.Feature
