It errored out after it has already created some folders and files as indicated in the first post.Tried the same steps several times just make sure it was repeatable by closing Rescue and Restore app and starting it again. The network between the share host and my W510 was a direct RJ45 cable connection, so zero hop. In the end I used Windows 7 Backup and Restore to do full backup, using the same \\server\sharename, the network share was mapped without a problem. But then Windows 7 Restore CD wasn't able to map network share - giving me 0x800704cf. Googling shows lots questions raised on this but no fix.
Update:
Last night, I gave it a shot again. For some reason, RR was able to mapped the network share using \\IPaddress\sharename (this time I used a different folder and a diferent sharename). OK great, but after 10 hrs it's at 88% completion, did my math, estimated elasped time is 12 hrs, Wow! The image backup with Windows 7 Backup took 5 hr 51 min with 132GB in the WindowsImageBackup folder. RR is 2x slower!
On the other hand, as it's still running, the est. backup folder size is 106GB. RR does a better job in compression - a 20% reduction in size compared with Windows' at the cost of 2x time.
Going back to the Windows 7 Restore CD 0x80704cf error when mapping the network share, found an Internet user posting that he succeede by providing a NIC driver.

Problem with the "lenovo Rescue And Recovery" system. (lenovo 3000 N500).

hi!
yesterday i ran Kaspersky virus scan tool and it detect file named "tvtfilter.sys" as suspicious file and thefore delet it.
today when i was restart my laptop, i got error message on startup that say:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrservice.exe" abnormal program termination.
after some google search i've understand that "tvtfilter.sys" was critical file of "Rescue And Recovery" system.
so, any one with "Rescue And Recovery" running on his laptop can upload for me this file?
it's located in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DIRVERS\" and it's name is "tvtfilter.sys"
thank you!
BTW, ive tried to re-install it but it wont let me because of some error message

Hi eitrnel,
Just a thought: give a try to un-intsall the Rescue and Recovery from the Control Panel first before re-installing it.

Can't find backups in Rescue and Recovery

I made a backup using RR4 a while ago, but now when I need to access some of those files, RR says it can't find any backups. I can see the backup data on both of the partitions that I backed up by going directory to [Root Drive]/RRBackups, but still nothing shows up when I use RR. Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks for the help so far guys. I've found out that I can only view the backup, which is on an external hard drive, when I boot into RR from startup and not after windows loads. But now I have a different problem. When I made the backup I had two partitions in addition to the service partition (so like service partition Z:, SW_Preload C:, and Documents F. Since my hard drive crashed, I reinstalled my hard drive to the factory settings using the recovery discs. But factory settings means only the service partition and SW_Preload C:. So when I try to restore from my backup, it says that it cannot restore the second partition because it cannot be found. I don't remember exactly how big each partition was, so I can't divide the partitions to exactly how they were. What I did try was to make sure each of the C: and F: partitions were big enough to handle the backups that I made; but this still doesn't work and I get the same error message. Would it work if I just got a bigger hard drive and restored the drive with partitions that are much bigger than the original partitions of the backup? Any help would be much appreciated

Can the rescue and recovery function be infect with a trojan virus?

I had some trouble with trojan viruses. My scan software detected malware on my system which I deleted with the help of the antivirus software antivir (free version) and with the software malwarebytes.
My thinkpad r51 is still running and virus scans do not show any problems any more. But I am not quite sure if I can trust the scans. So I am thinking about to format the harddisk and setup a new system. Or to use the rescue and recovery function which says that the system will be put back to its initial state. Is it really possible to bring the system back to its original state with help of rescue and recovery? ? I am a little bit afraid that the rescue and recovery function might be infected too? How does the function work? Can the system really be put back to its original state?
Any help appreciated, thanks!

Solved!

Hi,
if you have a virus on your system, then there is a realy small chance, that the virus got also into the Service Partition.
So in this situation if you want to restore the system , then after the restore finish, the virus should surely be gone.
Service partition is a protected partition, which content can not be accessed just like that .

Lenovo rescue and recovery will not run a new backup

Tried several times to make a new backup using "rescue and recovery" (i've done this regularly over the years) .. But "rescue and recovery" freezes and then shuts the computer down. This has happened at least 4 times so far.
x201....3249-CTO....i7....4GB RAM....64-bit OS....Windows 7

1. What are the current and previous versions of R&R? When it was upgraded?
2. Did you have the such issue with previous R&R version?
3. Did you try to uninstall previous version and install the new one? Or reinstall the current version? How current vesrsion is upgraded from the previous one - manually or using System Update?
4. Was your OS version upgraded from previous one? I mean as an example XP -> W7
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

Rescue and Recovery to clone to Crucial Msata SSD drive Not Working Error

I have a T520 andI did a complete backup through Rescue and Recovery I did the back up to DVD. I then checked all the DVDs They all have data and are almost full. The T520 came with a Toshiba 500 gig HD, I have added a Crucial Msata 128 GiG, The T520 is running windows 7, and I have loaded the programs I use, and almost no data. The DVDs from the complete back up are marked as follows:
Final SP Backup
Startup Disk
1c
2c
3c
4c
Final Q
Final C
All DVDs are full I Take out the Toshiba 500Gig put in my Crucial Msata Drive Boot with the Startup Disk select complete restore select from CD/DVD The T520 Asks for all the disks Some are only used for a few mnutes then after I put in final C It says it is going to reboot select drive after reboot and then I get the error screen:
1. Insert Your windows installation Disc and restart your computer
2. Choose your language settings
3 Click Repair your computer
File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
The Selected Entry could not be loaded because the application os missing or corrupt.
When you receive a laptop from Lenovo they do not give you Windows 7 discs. So there is no way to do a srt. All I want to do is get the Msata drive to boot and run the os and all my loaded programs. This way it is faster and more efficient. Is there a simpler way. Please help I have only got about 40 hours into this mess. Thanks for any help from the experts.

I'm a bit confused about the process you are using and what you are trying to do.
If I understand you,
you currently have a working 500gb hdd with the operating system, your programs and your data.
You want to move your operating system to the mSATA drive and have your computer boot from there.
you have made a set of recovery disks using the Lenovo program. This is intended to restore your system to its original state (no data or extra programs)
Here are a couple of options
You can create a "backup and recovery" set of DVD's using the Windows built in programs (click the 'Start' button, then type 'backup' into the search box at the bottom) that will back up all of your system (OS, programs, data, setting etc.)
Use a stand alone program like Acronis to create a clone of your current disk
Thereafter
Remove your current 500gb drive from your machine
Install the mSATA drive
Restore whatever image you want (the Lenovo recovery, the Windows restore or the Acronis [or whatever program you used] image)
Reinstall your 500gb hdd and rename that drive to a letter other than 'C'

LENOVO 3000N200 0769 VISTA screen on rescue and recovery 4

Need your help please Wasn't the last person to use my Laptop. noticed sometime ago when triying to log in that my screen has default to Rescue and recovery 4; what make impossible for me to access windows. please i've all i could but no success. i can do manything with PC via rescue and recovery but as you all know without windows access it's a handicape; thanks in advance or your contribution regards Tino

Hi,
so from what I can understand, you have some issues with the OS and want to restore the system and you get the logon prompt when you try to access RnR PDA using the F11 key by system start.
If this is correct, then the reason, why you get this message is that you have entered an user name and password in the RnR GUI (security)
In case you don't know this password, then that is a bad sign. As this is now locked.
Please let me know, if I'm correct with the above assumption of your situation.
Cheers

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks
Doron71

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers

Rescue and Recovery: No backups available for "local hard drive" with Full Restore

I can see all my backups in "view all backups" and can restore individual files, although when I select the option for "full restore", it reboots my PC and brings up the Rescue and Recovery interface which gives me the option for "full restore". When I select "full restore", it asks me to select the source.
As my backups are stored on my local hard drive, I select that source, however the scroll box is empty (no backups available for selection).
Can anyone recommend a solution to fix this problem, or should I remove and re-install Rescue and Recovery, then create new backups (and hope they appear in the list for full restore)?
I am running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 on a Lenovo T61p with XP SP3.
Thanks.
Gary Grathen

Also, I have RnR 4.00.0117.00.
Where do I find and how do I delete these massive files?

Problems with Rescue and recovery

Hi,
I have a T500 (2082 52G) with XP running. Having had problems with some software I tried to use Rescue and Recovery 4 to recover from an earlier backup. However, the Recovery still is at 0 % after 3 hours. Do I have an opportunity to shut down the system or cancel the recovery without crashing anything? I read "Dont shut down during the process" at the beginning. As I am business user it is _most_ important not to loose any data.
Any reply is much appreciated!
Regards,
Peter

Hi,
any advice please ?
thx

Rescue and Recovery backup with external hard drive

When I first backed up my computer to my WD 1 tb external hard drive using R&R, boot files were placed on the drive. Recently, some files I had corrupted my external hard drive and I had to fully erase it. Now, after making the drive recognizable again, I went to go back up my computer using rescue and recovery. This time, it asked me whether or not I wanted to make the drive bootable, I said yes, but an error popped up saying I needed 1000 more mb, even though I had 931 gb open. The backup started anyway, but it did not include any boot files. Is there a way to make the drive bootable the next time I backup? What is the difference between nonbootable and bootable? Help? Thanks.

I do NOT have a external Hard drive. If you just zeroed the drive, it is blank. Go into control panel,administrative tools, computer management, disk management. See if you can get a PROPERTIES of the external drive and post a Screen shot of that here. This will show what partition(s) are there, Fat32 vs NTFS. My experience is after you zero a drive, You have to boot your system, then use a Vendor (WD) standalone format utility or windows Disk manangement format, Make partition, etc. The screen shot i need is the one that says: DISK 1 (d 298.09 GB NTFS
Healthy(active,primary partition). This is what my 2nd drive, D, says. 1 partion on the drive.
When i added my second hard drive, it was blank. Booted up, BIOS recognized drive, Then i Formatted it with windows disk managment. I then pointed R&R to take backups to that drive. Create rescue media then made a Master boot record, install standalone R&R boots files, then took the backup. This makes my 2nd drive bootable, should i ever care to boot my D drive up and have R&R standalone program in control. Thus i have 2 bootable drives. C boots into windows, D boots into the rescue and recovery standalone program. I can also boot my C drive into R&R by hitting PF 11 at startup (bios) time.
Which version of r&r you have? Which version of windows? Windows 7 changed the way Master boot records are written.
You can go into R&R, advanced menu, create rescue media. Point to your External drive. WARNING. make sure the do not destroy existing data block is checked. IF YOU ARE brave, uncheck the destroy existing data. This will erase everthing on the drive!!! <<Warning. And be sure NOT to point to any drive you really love.
Buts lets 1st get the screen shot requested to make sure the drive is FORMATTED correcly.

How to access another computer's backups with Rescue and Recovery

Hi all,
I'm in the middle of a disaster. It is a long story, but basically, here is what I need to do now:
My laptop was backing up to my NAS using Rescue and Recovery (R+R). I no longer have that laptop. How can I access those backups and retrieve files using another Lenovo PC now?
Here's what I've tried on the Lenovo PC to access the laptop's backups:
When I open Windows Explorer and go directly to the NAS, I can see the RRBackups folder and the directory structure, but all the files are like Data0, Data1, etc. So can't restore those.
When I open R+R on my PC and try to restore individual files from Network, nothing shows, as if there are no backups on the NAS.
When I press F11 and boot into R+R, I can see the Scheduled Backups on my NAS, but when I click on them to access individual files, they appear empty.
Thanks for your help.

bighill89, welcome to the forum,
do you know which version of R&R was installed on the ThinkPad and did you by any chance create a cd?
If there are version differences between the two systems there may be problems recovering data out of the backups, using a rescue cd may help. The only doubts I have here is whether or not the correct network driver will be present on the cd allowing you to access the NAS.

Recovering Rescue and Recovery data from a T61p with the GPU failure problem

My t61p has the GPU (1 long 2 short beeps) problem described in another thread. Apart from getting the laptop fixed, which will take several weeks, I have a more pressing problem getting my data back from this laptop.
I have been using Lenovo Rescue and Recovery religiously for the last two years to create monthly incremental backups on a USB drive. While I am trying to get my laptop repaired, I would like to at least recover my files from the backup and start working on a different machine.
I was told by Lenovo support that the only way to get to the data is to connect the drive to another T61p, running the exact same version of Rescue and Recovery I had on my original T61p. For one, I have to idea what version of R&R I had on my laptop. Secondly, I am in no position to get another T61p just to recover the data.
I would have thought that there would be a version of R&R that I could run on any Windows machine, and recover the data, but apparently that's not so.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can recover my data?
Thanks.

Hi,
the basic and most importatnt information, in this case is, that RnR can detect/read backups that have been captured using the very same version as you are using right now.
So in case you captured your backup using version xx.xx.xxx1 you cannot restore, or recover your backup using the version xx.xx.xxx2. You need to us the very same version.
As Win7 uses different version of RnR, this is the root cause.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Rescue and Recovery tool - problem with recovering files stored on USB memory stick

I recently had to use the Lenovo Care Rescue and Recovery tool to restore my 300 N200 to a previously backed up state.
As part of the Rescue and Recovery I selected the option to save user data in My Documents to a USB memory stick before restoring to the backup. This seemed to be successful (tool confirmed that 300MB of files were saved). But when I wanted to restore the files from the USB memory stick back to the laptop none of the folders/files is visible.
I checked the memory status of the USB memory stick and this confirms that 300MB space is taken up - but no files visible!!!
Can anyone help??
