Recovering data

If you performed a backup operation using the Rescue and Recovery program, you also have one or more backups stored that reflect the contents of the hard disk as it existed at various points in time. These backups might be stored on your hard disk, or a network drive, or on removable media, depending on the options you selected during the backup operation.

You can use either the Rescue and Recovery program or the Rescue and Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the hard disk to an earlier state using any of the stored backups. You can use the Lenovo Care button to turn on your computer and enter the Rescue and Recovery workspace that runs independently of the Windows operating system.

After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery operation, even if you are unable to start Windows.
