Create.Full.Backup

There are two backup types that can be created: full backup and 

incremental backup. Selecting Full backup backs up your system 

partition to a folder on the hard disk in order to recover it in the 

future. The program will save the backed up data to the default 

location. For example to D:\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey 

Recovery. You may also select another destination, such as 

removable storage devices, network drives or a CD/DVD.

If you choose to back up system partition to a disc (CD/DVD), the 

created discs can be used to recover your system to the current status.

We suggest you do the following before you create recovery discs:

Use the latest version of your system’s anti-virus software to 

scan your computer and make sure it is virus-free. 

Optimize your system, including scanning and defragmenting 

your hard disk drive.

Create.Incremental.Backup

An incremental backup is a backup of your data based on 

previous backed up file located in the default path. This backup 

includes different data than the full backup, such as application 

variations and user data.

Incremental backup can only be saved to the default path; it 

cannot be backed up to another location.

Create.Recovery.Disc

You can burn the backup image to a CD/DVD as recovery 

discs. The recovery discs can be used to boot up your computer 

automatically and restore your system back to previously backed 

up status. If your hard disk fails and you are unable to use Lenovo 

OneKey Recovery on your computer, you can use these discs to 

recover your system on a reformatted hard drive.

Please make sure to create recovery discs, so that you can 

recover your system, even when replacing the hard drive.

After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that 

you can use them in order.

When burning the recovery discs, please use good quality 

discs with to ensure the burning process and backed up data is 

complete and correct. 

Restore.of.Factory.Default

In order to save application files and the initial backed up files of the 

system, the hard disk in a Lenovo PC includes a hidden partition 

when it is shipped. If you need to restore the system to the point of 

your first boot up, just enter Lenovo OneKey Rescue System and 

run 

Restore to Factory Default

. This will delete all the new data on 

the system partition (C partition), which is not recoverable. Make 

sure to back up your critical data before you run this feature.

Restore.from.Backup

If you want to recover the system to a previous status, you just 

need to enter Lenovo OneKey Rescue, and select

 from 

User’s Backup. Select the appropriate image file or, if you have 

run incremental backup before, you can use the incremental file to 

restore your system.

The process above will remove all data on the current system 

partition (C partition), which is not recoverable. Please back up all 

important data before restoring to a previous backup.

Using.Recovery.Discs

When you replace a hard disk drive in your computer, you are 

unable to use the pre-installed Lenovo OneKey Recovery and 

OneKey Rescue. However, you can use the recovery discs that 

store your backed up data to restore your new hard drive to a 

previous backup status.

When you use the recovery discs to boot your computer, the 

system will enter system recovery user interface automatically. 

Please follow the prompt to insert the backup discs in order to

Back.Up.My.Data

Within the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System you can transfer your data 

from your computer’s hard disk to other devices, so you may easily 

find it if your Windows system ever encountered a critical failure.

System.Repair

detects whether Windows has been damaged. If the system kernel 

files are damaged, Lenovo OneKey Rescue System will prompt 

you to proceed with a system repair. The system will reboot after 

the repair process is complete. If there are no files damaged, 

Lenovo OneKey Rescue System starts normally.

System repair only works for system data files. Using this 

feature will not affect your own data

Set.and.Manage.User.Password

You can set up your user password within Lenovo OneKey 

Rescue System to ensure other users cannot use the system 

recovery or Back Up My Data functions.

By default, the user password within the Lenovo OneKey Rescue 

System is blank and it is recommended that you immediately set a 

new password to ensure your system is protected.
