Completing a backup
Applications installed or uninstalled after the selected backup is created might
need to be installed again to function correctly. Make sure that the system is
connected to an AC power supply before initiating a backup, restore, rejuvenation,
or archive procedure. Failure to do so can result in data loss or an irretrievable
system failure.
Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ)
If you are using MSMQ, you might have problems starting the service after a
restore from an incremental backup. That is how Rescue and Recovery knows what
files have changed so it can back them up. So, if all those files aren’t backed up on
an incremental, then the files could get out of synch and cause the service to fail.
Here are some registry settings that run a command before Rescue and Recovery
takes a backup that sets the Archive bit on all files in the MSMQ directory. This
means the entire directory will be backed up every incremental.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\Backup
\PreBackup]
"Pre"="cmd"
"PreParameters"="/c attrib +A \"%windir%\\system32\\msmq\\*.*\" /S /D"
"PreShow"=dword:00000000
