Updating
You may need to make a major change to your system, such as a service pack
update to Windows. Before you install the service pack, you force an incremental
backup on the system and identify that backup by name by performing the
following steps:
1. Create a FORCE_BU.CMD file and push it down to your target systems.
2. Launch the FORCE_BU.CMD file once it is on the target systems.
The contents of the FORCE_BU.CMD file are:
:: Force a backup now
"%RR%rrcmd" backup location=L name="Backup Before XP-SP2 Update"
Enabling the Rescue and Recovery desktop
After realizing the benefits of Rescue and Recovery for a period of time, you may
want to benefit from the Rescue and Recovery environment. For demonstration
purposes, a sample UPDATE_RRE.CMD script is provided in the following section
that will extract the control file for the Rescue and Recovery environment, which
you can edit and then put back into the Rescue and Recovery environment using
rrutil.exe. See “Using RRUTIL.EXE” on page 32 for more information.
To modify the Predesktop Area, the UPDATE_RRE.CMD script demonstrates
several processes:
v Use rrutil.exe to get a file from the Rescue and Recovery environment. The files
to be extracted from the Rescue and Recovery environment are defined by in file
getlist.txt.
v Create a directory structure to put files back into the Predesktop Area after
editing the appropriate file.
v Make a copy of the file for safe keeping and then edit it.
In this example, you want to change the home page that is opened when an end
user clicks the Open Browser button in the Rescue and Recovery environment. The
Web page http://www.lenovo.com/thinkvantage opens.
To make the change, when Notepad opens with the pdaguien.ini file:
1. Change the line:
button13 = 8, "Open browser", Internet.bmp, 1, 1, 0,
%sysdrive%\Preboot\Opera\Opera.EXE, http://www.pc.lenovo.com/cgi-
bin/access_IBM.cgi?version=4&link=gen_support&country=__
