Lenovo OneKey Recovery - create backup

The OneKey Recovery feature allows you to back up your Lenovo and restore files. We give you instructions here.

Lenovo: Start OneKey Recovery

If your computer is still fully functional, you can start OneKey Recovery like any other program. If your computer no longer starts on its own or is extremely unstable, you can also start the tool in other ways:

• The computer must be turned off before OneKey Recovery starts.
• Most Lenovo laptops have a small button with an arrow on the side or above the keyboard.
• If this is actuated, the computer starts in the emergency system. Here you can select the option "Recovery" or "OneKey-Recovery".

Lenovo OneKey Recovery: backup or restore

Once you have started the tool, you can choose between a system backup and a system restore.

• System backup: Select a path to save the backup and give the backup a name, eg the current date.
• Then click on "Next" to start the system backup.
• System Restore: If you select this mode, your computer will be restarted first. You can now choose between restoring from a self-created backup or the factory state.
• After about 10 to 30 minutes, the process is complete and the computer is restarted.
