Option B: Backing up and restoring your data when you
cannot start Windows
Use the Rescue Data software to back up your data when you cannot start Windows,
and use the VAIO Data Restore Tool software to restore files which have been
backed up with the Rescue Data software.
Notes on using the Rescue Data software
❑ Handle rescued files with care to protect from unauthorized access.
❑ Keep recovery discs in a secure place to protect from unauthorized copying of your
data on the built-in storage device because this software can be launched from the
recovery discs.
❑ Rescued files which are not encrypted on the built-in storage device can be easily
accessed by unauthorized users using recovery discs.
To protect rescued files from unauthorized access, set the power-on or hard disk
password or use the Windows hard disk drive encryption feature.
❑ Using this software does not guarantee to back up all the data on your built-in
storage device. Sony assumes no liabilities for any loss of your data arising out of
the backup process.
❑ Disable the Windows hard disk drive encryption feature before using this software.
❑ Be sure to use the power cord or the AC adapter to power your computer when
using this software.
