EFS file limitation
The date and time stamp attributes are not preserved for EFS files restored by
Rescue and Recovery, all other files will retain their original date and time.
Battery power settings for backups
With the corresponding ADM file installed for Rescue and Recovery, if you have
the Battery Percent Requirement set in Group Policy at 1% in the following ADM
path: ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\Backup, and the system that you
are attempting to backup has 1% remaining battery power, set the following policy
to Hide the No Battery user message:
ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\User Messages
For more information on Active Directory configurations for Rescue and Recovery
using Group Policy, see the accompanying XML/ADM Supplement for the
deployment guide located on the ThinkVantage Technologies Administrator Tools
page:

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
