Command line support
The following sections provide command line support for Rescue and Recovery in
addition to Antidote Delivery Manager.
RRCMD command-line interface
The primary Rescue and Recovery command-line interface is RRCMD. The
command is located in the C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\
subdirectory. The following table provides information to use the command-line
interface for Rescue and Recovery:
Syntax:
RRcmd command filter=filterfile location=c [name=abc | level=x] [silent]
Table 26. RRcmd parameters
Command Result
Backup Initiate a normal backup operation (must include location and
name parameters).
Restore Initiate a normal restore operation (must include location and
level).
List List files that are included in the backup level (must include
location and level).
Basebackup Initiate an alternative base backup. This is not to be used as a
basis for incremental backups, and must include the location,
name and level. The level must be less than 99. If another base
backup with the same level already exists, it will be overwritten.
Sysprepbackup Stage a backup operation in the Pre Desktop Area after the
computer is rebooted. The primary use for this feature is to
capture a Sysprep backup.
Notes:
1. In some cases, the progress bar does not move. If this occurs,
you can verify the backup is occurring by listening to the hard
disk drive. When the backup is complete, you will receive a
message that the backup is complete.
2. If you are setting a password when creating a Sysprep backup
to the network then the password file will not be written to the
backup location until an incremental backup is taken. The
following information provides two work alternate methods:
a. Create a local Sysprep backup and copy the backups to
either the network or the USB.
b. Create an incremental backup to the network or the USB
after the Sysprep backup and either keep or delete the
incremental backup.
