• Rescue and Recovery 4.30 is designed for the Windows 7 operating system. The previous versions of the Rescue and Recovery program for Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista® cannot be installed on Windows 7 operating system. Therefore, the Windows Installer does not support the over install behavior from previous versions of the Rescue and Recovery program.

• If you want to retain the ability to restore from backups created with a previous version of Rescue and Recovery, you must create a copy of your backup files on bootable, external recovery media before installing the latest version.
  
  1. To archive your backups, complete the following procedure:
     
     • From the Rescue and Recovery main screen, click Backup, and then select Copy backups from hard drive from the drop-down list.
       
     • Select the medium you want to save your backup files to by clicking the appropriate radio button. The backup files that will be copied are listed on the user interface.
     • Click OK to continue
       
  2. You will need blank removable media when copying backups from the hard drive to CD or DVD. Make sure that you label each disc as it is created, and that you store them together in a safe place.
     Note: You will be prompted to make the external media bootable at the beginning of the process.
     
     
• Before installing Rescue and Recovery on computers running the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7, you must download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1.
  
  
• The Sysprepbackup operation changes in the Windows 7 operating system because a new version of Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) is built in the Windows 7 operating system. When you run the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) and use the /generalize option, the Sysprep operation disables Windows RE by removing the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) entry to the Rescue and Recovery Pre Desktop Area (PDA). To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
