Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.​00 scheduler does not start RnR

The scheduler worked up to a year ago. Then it simply stopped operation. I tried different schedules - no effect. I changed the USB drive - no effect. I checked ...\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Scheduler\T​asks\Rescue and Recovery but I do not know ahich parameters to modify, eventually.
What can I do to re-activte the scheduler?

Hi,
please tell me, what exactly do you see, when you try to select the USB HDD as the backpu location?
Is this the first backup, that you want to place on the local HDD and also on the USB HDD?
Please note, that in case you already placed some backups on the Local HDD and now you want to add an USB HDD, as the storage place for the incremental backups, then you might have these issue, because the USB HDD was not selected from the start as the secondary backup storage location.
Back to your situation: please tell me, what is located on the USB HDD? Are there some files, and was there any kind of RnR backup made?
Sorry for that many questions, but I just want to make sure, that I understand this situation correctly so that I can optionaly try to reproduce this situation.
Here are some advices, that might help out:
- one of the recommendations when using RnR with USB HDD as a backup storage is to clear the USB HDD, format is, create a partition and clean this HDD. Once the First RnR backup is placed on this USB HDD, you can put back all your files on this USB HDD and can continue to use it as a backup and also as a File sotrage.
- please also go into the registry :
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\Backups
and make sure, that on the right side is the value of the "USBPartition Number"-key set to "1".
I have seen it sometimes to happen, that RnR could not detect the USB HDD, becasue this partition option want set to 0 or no value, which indicated to RnR that there is no option to use a USB HDD as a backup storage.
Pelase let me knwo, any update, so that I can try to help you out with this.
Cheers

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.21.00.16.00 Did Not Install

    I just used System Update to download and install Rescue and Recovery 4.21.00.16.00.
    It told me that it did not install, but gave no reason and there were no error messages.
    I tried it again and SU recognized that it was already downloaded, but the result was the
    same.
    Does that mean I'm stuck with 4.20.0511.00 ? ? ?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I looked into my Event Viewer and got a hint. Also, knowing that my anti-virus program,
    BitDefender, has a feature that prevents modification to the registry without permission from
    me, and I hadn't been asked for such, I decided to turn that feature off and try again.
    That worked, and I now have the latest version of Rescue and Recovery installed.

  • 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.

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

  • Rescue and Recovery display problem

    I'm running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 and when I boot the R&R rescue media boot disk I come up with the screen that shows the options however the the image is too big to fit the screen. I've tried 2 different monitors but the program makes the image size too large so that I can't see all the options and pick what I wnat to do. I'm  running this on a IBM Netvista 8307-GU6. Any ideas out there????????

    I found another post for the same problem and found the fix. went into the BIOS and increased the display memory and that fixed my display problem. Now if I can just find out why the R&R program won't recognize the backup file when I boot from the CD I'll be happy. The backup file is on a USB drive and when I look at it from the Windows XP side it shows it being there but booting from the CD there are no backup files to restore from.  Any ideas????

  • Rescue and Recovery + uncheck Schedule your backups

    Hello All,
    I wanted to uncheck "Schedule your backups" option of RnR 4.31 via registry. I tried adding registry keys like Mode=0 in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\Scheduler\Tasks\Rescue and Recovery" but it just greys out the option. but backup popup keeps coming as the "Schedule your backups" option is checked, even though it is greyed out.
    any suggestions is highly appreciated. awaiting a quick reply.
    Regards
    Arun Kumar Kannan

    I don't know in which order you are trying to delete backups,but AFAIK you need to delete the last one first as they are cumulative backups.

  • Rescue and Recovery Won't Open on My R61i Laptop

    Computer: 2008 Lenovo R61i Laptop with Windows XP, SP 3, 2 GB RAM, Intel Duo Core processor, 34 GB free on the hard drive
    I had been wondering why my 160 GB hard drive was filling up even though I only have 10 GB of documents, photos, and videos saved, so I downloaded a little program called windirstat, and it told me that 50 GB was being used for RRbackups. Google told me what that is, and I opened it and checked to see how many backups were there (it said 5, counting an initial "basic" backup). I attempted to delete the newest one, but I can't tell if the process finished, and now I can't get Rescue and Recover to even open. I have defragged my hard drive, I have tried it in SAFE MODE, nothing works.
    Here are my questions and additional info:
    Is the initial "basic" backup where the backup of  the Windows XP operating system is located? (I'm guessing that if the answer is "yes," then I don't want to delete that backup.) The size of this backup is 36 GB.
    If so, could that backup be moved to an external hard drive and still be usable?
    I also have Go Back (keeps a compressed image of my hard drive on the same drive for restoration of files and reverting the hard drive to a previous status). I have used this program for years and would rather use it that Rescue and Recovery for incremental backups because it's automatic and updates more often.
    I also now use Carbonite, so I may need to rethink how I should use R & R and GoBack.
    I'm thinking that I would like to keep the R&R initial back for Windows files but tell R&R to not to any more backups, then continue to use GoBack and Carbonite.
    The primary problem at the moment is that R&R won't open at all, so I can't delete any backups and I can't tell it to stop trying to do incremental backups. HELP!
    Thanks in advance,
    Jim King

    Hi,
    can you please describe, how did you tried to delete the RnR backup? Using GUI, or manually in the RRbackups?
    NOTE: The files stored in the RRbackup are encrypted and each file has also a metadata file, that conatins the informations on the purpose of that one file and some other usefull informations for RnR so that the restore can work.
    Here are the answers on your questions:
    1) If I understand it correctly, then the answer is YES. In case you have placed all the RnR backups localy, then the basic/initial backup and also the other incremental backups are stored exactly in the RRbackups folder.
    2) YES, you can move it, BUT not manually. You need to use the RnR GUI to copy/move the backup on a network drive, or USB HDD. You can read more about this option in the Manual for RnR (sorry I don't want to describe it in here, as this is a bit longer description). So please review following guide:
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkvantage_en/rnr43dg.pdf
    Page 61 describes this process using the rrcmd.exe utility.
    3) I think, this is just a note
    4) same here
    5) In this case, it's of course possible to keeep just the original/inicial backup. In case you don't want to do any other backups, then you just make sure, that you dissable the scheduler of RnR and don't do any other backups.
    6) For this situation, the crucial point is, what did you deleted in the RRbackups. However, the first point, that I would do is to reinstall, or repair RnR. NOTE: Please use the same package, or the package, that is stored on your system. From Add/REmove programs.
    Please let me know, if you have any add questions to this situation.
    Cheers

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.3 on Windows 7 Pro

    I've just upgraded my ThinkPad R61 to Win 7 Pro, successfully installed all Win 7 ThinkVantage software and here starts my problem:

    On my:
    Lenovo T61p, T7700 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB Ram
    I downloaded Rescue and Recovery..tvtvrnr43_en.exe and saved it to my desktop.
    When I go to install the RnR I get the following error message:
    "Microsoft  Visual C++2005 Redistributal (x64) SP1 needs to be installed before you can install RnR".
    One of Microsoft's important updates was the above MS Visual C++ which I installed.
    I phoned Lenovo support in Atlanta and they said they offer no support on a retail version of Win 7.  They
    said that I was "missing some kernal" that came with the original OEM software which isn't on a retail clean
    install.  I'm baffeled since all other Lenovo Win 7 updates were able to be installed and are working properly.
    I'm stuck.  Any Suggestions please.

  • N200 Rescue and Recovery - where does it store backups?

    I've got an issue with the rescue and recovery on my laptop. I want to delete old backups and when I get my automated RnR pop up on a friday afternoon instead of doing a backup I click on the link that says "you can modify this schedule by launching RnR here". From that I get a list of all the old backups made on my laptop and the option to delete any one of them. I click on the delete button next to an old backup that's obviosuly taking up valuable HD space and a little window pops up telling me "Please wait while the backups are deleted" and then the little hour glass spins round and round for hours on end. I clicked this at 5pm this evening and it is now 11pm and it's still there. Don't think it's deleting anything and has just timed out. It's done this every time I try.
    Is there a way to configure the RnR so that I can specify that I want the backup to go onto my external hardrive?
    Where are these backups stored on my laptop so that I can go in and delete them manually as doing them vis RnR is definitely not working,
    Thanks

    I would pull the hard drive and place it in an external
    usb enclosure.
    Copy the important files off of it if possible.
    You may not get it to boot again with out re installing windows,
    or hard drive may be damaged.

  • Rescue and Recovery and the Hidden Service Partition

    When I got my G41 ThinkPad in November 2004 it had a Hidden Service Partition
    of size 693 Mb. I'm a fan of Rescue and Recovery and upgraded it successfully
    up through version 4.0, but when I tried to upgrade to 4.1 and later to 4.2 I got
    an error that said there was not enough free space. After I learned that the error
    was referring to free space in the Hidden Service Partition I had my hard drive
    repartitioned so the Service Partition was 4 Gb. R & R 4.2 then installed, and I'm
    now on version 4.21.0016.00.
    The other day I noticed that my free space on C:\ had dramatically increased, and
    on further investigation I found that my Hidden Service Partition was again 693 Mb.
    I don't know how this happened, unless it was the result of my starting to rejuvinate
    my system and then later cancelling out of that processs and doing a full restore. I
    still get the 4.2 Rescure and Recovery menu on hitting the blue Access IBM button
    when I boot, and it seems to work as expected.
    My question is: Should I have my HDD repartitioned again to make a 4 GB Hidden
    Partition?

    Hi,
    I think your laptop is not set to boot from the DVD-rom. You have to 1st go to bios and set the 1st boot device to be the dvd-rom. After that, insert the recovery startup disc and it should take you to the recovery menu.
    BTW, you should be able to recover from the service partition as long as you have not deleted it, even if windows is screwed up. Make sure you press the blue Thinkvantage button  or the F11 key at startup and only then will it take you to the recovery menu.
    Hope it works.

  • 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.

  • Deleting Rescue and Recovery backups

    I using WinXP+SP3 and Rescue and Recovery 4.  I launch Rescue and Recovery via Start-Programs-ThinkVantage-Rescue and Recovery.  In the Window that opens I click 'Change schedule, name a backup, delete backups'. Another Windown opens and I can see my backups listed at the bottom of this Window.   When I select a backup to delete,  a small Window opens that asks if I'm sure I want to delete the backup.  I say 'yes'.  Another Windown opens that says 'Please wait while the backups are deleted'.
    My issue is Rescue and Recovery seems to hang and never finishes the  backup deletion.  I see the access light on my external drive blink at first so Rescue and Recovery seems to be doing something at first but the 'Please wait while the backups are deleted' never closes.  I let the delete run all night and when I got up, the Window was still there.  I tried to delete another backup and got the same result.
    What is causing the problem?  I can see the contents of my external drive in Windows Explorer so I know my PC can access it.

    rmbowma, welcome to the forum,
    delete the last backup on it's own first, you should then be able to delete other backups.
    Please remember that they are incremental backups, you can't delete for instance backups 2-5 leaving 1 & 6 as 6 is dependent on 2-5.
    Hope this helps

  • Backing up TO a FDE second HDD with Rescue and Recovery

    Is it possible to back up my internal Drive C: HDD, which is a Lenovo FDE drive, onto a second HDD, also Lenovo FDE, installed in the Ultrabay slot using Rescue and Recovery? Using R61 and T61 machines and Windows XPP.
    I don't see the point of backing up a FDE drive onto anything else, so please let me know if I am missing something!
    Many Thanks.

    Firstly the free version of esxi makes it deliberately difficult to do scheduled backup by not providing the licensing that backup software can use (you may still be able to do backups manually). Some free software such as unitrends will provide file backup, but not image backup. This restriction is one way VMware gets you to pay for essentials or other higher license.

  • How to restore backed up files after I used Rescue and Recovery

    Hi there lenovo community,

    First of all, the program I used to back up my hard drive was the Rescue and Recovery that my lenovo desktop came with. I used an external hard drive (WD My Passport, specifically) to back up my old hard drive. The problem that I'm facing right now is how I can open these files, they seem to be not working with any of the option programs the "open with" thingy offers me. If anyone knows  an easy solution for this please please respond to me immediately.. I would really really appreciate it.  I have important documents there.  
    Thanks,
    Enrico
