Chapter 3. Lenovo OneKey Recovery system
The Lenovo OneKey Recovery system is software designed to back up and 
restore your computer. You can use it to restore the system partition to its 
original status in case of a system failure. You can also create user backups

system is not available.
To utilize the features of the OneKey Recovery system, your hard disk already includes a 
hidden partition by default to store the system image file and the OneKey Recovery 
system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons, which explains 
why the available disk space is less than the stated capacity.
Notes:You can choose a back-up location on the local hard disk drive or an external storage 
device.
Remove the removable hard disk drive before starting the Lenovo OneKey Recovery 
system. Otherwise, data from the removable hard disk drive might be lost.
