Time Capsule with Rescue and Recovery v4

I am unable to backup my Thinkpad X300 on to Time Capsule using Rescue and Recovery v4. Other Windows XP applications can see the Time Capsule just fine.
I have added the Time Capsule to the Windows workgroup also, and use Rescue and Recovery on the XP machine to select the Time Capsule as the backup location. The Rescue and Recovery always fails at the beginning saying "The backup was cancelled".
Please help!!

ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery v4.2 is available to enterprises at this moment only, you can buy it from IBM parts for $75 + state tax + shipping though.

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.

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

Hi North450,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the HDD was not working and is replaced in your J105 Desktop, if you have created the recovery discs before the HDD got crashed. I suggest you to install the OS (Operating System) using the Recovery discs to factory reset as it will create the default recommended partitions required for the computer and I’m sorry to inform you that the SATA drivers are not available in our support website for Windows Xp, but can be download from the Intel. Below is the link to download the driver:
Intel Download Center
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

Hello,
I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance
Moebius

Go back to your first setup ...
Verizon router with wireless turned off
Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
Method 1:
With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
Method 2:
This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.
With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule. You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side. Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports. If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
Method 3:
This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

Time Capsule with MacBook and PC

How can I use my Time Capsule with my Macbook Time Machine for auto backups and use it with my PCs as an external hard drive? I have I originally had it set up with my PCs originally. I have now erased the hard drive and hooked it up with my Mac (and am using Time Machine to back up my computer), but which partition setting do I use so I can use the other partition for windows operating system?

@ pondini:
given your last idea (namely to "connect a self-powered USB drive to the TC") would be the most appropriate:
Time machine on the mac would back-up to the TC, the Windows-based computer would back-up to the USB-drive. That self-powered USB-drive, in turn, is connected to the TC.
My questions:
That USB HD needs to be formatted in MS-DOS (FAT)?
Can the Mac still use space on the USB-drive for other data?
Is this just a matter of partitions?
Would all partitions on that USB-drive need to be MS-DOS (FAT)?
Thanx for answers!

Printer error using Time Capsule with Vista64 and HP printe. Any one else?

I'm running Time Capsule with my MacBook and Vista 64 PC, and trying to print on a HP5510 All-in-one.
The Time Capsule is set up according to the manual and I can print wirelessly from the MacBook. Also, the MacBook and the PC can both access the TC HD.
The problem comes when I'm trying to print with the PC. It will print about 3/4 of the page and stop, showing an error. At that point, I cannot purge/cancel/restart the print job. I need to shut down the PC and printer to get rid of the error.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Ray

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 ?

Power on and hard disk password issue with rescue and recovery ?

I have set a power on and hard disk password to prevent any unauthorized user to boot the computer and thats works fine but the problem is that it can be bypassed very easily by pressing the THINKVANTAGE blue button and going through the initial screen of the rescovery process.
When you reach the main screen of the recovery process just press on "restart system" and on the next boot up you won't be asked for a password and it will boot into Windows. Is there any way to prevent a user to initiate a rescue and recovery to bypass the password or even better a patch that will trigger the password screen as soon as the blue THINKVANTAGE button is pressed ?

I just recently discovered this problem as well.
I'm hoping someone can help us with this.

HT1178 Can you backup to same time Capsule with PC and Mac

How do I backup to same Time Capsule with both PC and Mac

- backup iMac to TC and hook up HD to USB port on TC to backup PC laptop
Hmmm not better IMHO.. as long as you disk image the TC.. and the amount of space you have far exceeds total usage on both computers.. For the TM backup on the Mac you want TC area to be at least 3x the used space on the drive.. leaving out VM or bootcamp partitions if you use them.
Plus enough space to back up the PC laptop a couple of times over.
USB hard drive is fairly slow.. but should be ok for backup over wireless.. just be aware you cannot unplug the USB drive and use it direct unless you format it FAT32 which is very poor format. So first backup is going to be slow.
- backup iMac directly to HD thru firewire and backup PC to HD hooked up to Airport Extreme
If you don't already have a TC then this is fine. Firewire local disk is much faster than network backup even over gigabit.
Any of your options would work ok.. doing disk image on the TC is most difficult to get working and limits the hard disk space. Balance out what you already own network wise with what you need.. there are plenty of routers now with USB ports that will deal directly with windows using NTFS.. if you end up using firewire local disk to the imac..

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.

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. But I'll leave that issue aside and try to guess what else you might be asking us here.
From the hardware standpoint you can use any good nas such as qnap, synology, or high-rely. Each has strengths and weaknesses (higher cost for HR but better hardware and removable redundancy etc). At the connectivity layer you can use CIFS (windows share), NFS, or iSCSI. any of the 3 will work and have pros and cons iSCSI is slower for big image based backups so NFS or CIFS (using...

X220 factory restore issue with Rescue and Recovery

I have X220 which I enjoyed very much for the last one year. Warranty is just expired and unfortunately the system starts act crazy. I decided to reformat and go back to factory setting stage by using Rescue and Recovery. I could get to the Full Restore and could click full factory restore. The system ask me to restart but instead reformat the HD, the previous OS kicks in and reboot as previous setting. Please help!!!

Are you sure Q: partition is absolutely empty? Normally .WIM files on partition Q: are stored in hidden directory FactoryRecovery.
Check out Lenovo Factory Recovery Discs within Control Panel for creating factory image media.

T60-hassle with Rescue and Recovery -- but, still in Boot or Start-up

Hi, using an Undelete-program I finally managed to remove a failing Rescue and Recovery (RnR) 3.01.x. Now, trying to install RnR 4.21.x, it says that it's 'not enough space in Startup'.
Q: How do I ensure a correct reset of either smb or whatever further space used by RnR, making space available for RnR 4.21 boot routines?
Running a T60 -- Type 1951-45G.
Anyone, like Herik or such having an answer?

Hi,
maybe one of the below links may help you out:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73630#3
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73630#10
Although based on your description, it might be, that none of it will fit you.
OK, so in case you uninstalled older verison of RnR, then please check whether this previous version of RnR was using a physical Recovery partition. If it does, then this error might indicate, that this partition is too small for the new files that should be copied to this location from the new version of RnR.
I have also seen this kind of error by installation on Win7, where the RnR application tried to place the preboot files into the 100MB partiiton, that is by default created by Win7 installation disk. As you mentioned, that you have been using 3.x version, then I assume, that you are on XP as the OS, Is that right?
One of the other options might be, that your antivir might be blocking the functionality/installation of RnR as RnR is accessing protected system files.
Also please make sure, that all the files from the older RnR version are deleted and you have the latest version of CSS (Client Security Solution) also installed on your system.
Any additional info is appreciated, as I can try to repro this situation in our lab.
Cheers
