Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility
The RRUTIL.EXE utility is designed to access the Rescue and Recovery service partition and virtual partition
data. This utility will work with both virtual partitions and type 12 partitions. This utility allows administrators
to customize the Predesktop Area. Only an Administrator user can use this utility by default.
The RRUTIL.EXE utility works with the Rescue and Recovery filter driver on a virtual partition, and mounts
type 12 partition as a drive in order to gain access.
Note: The RRUTIL.EXE utility for the Rescue and Recovery 4.23 program is not backwards compatible with
earlier versions of the Rescue and Recovery program.
