Description:

The file ibmprc.exe is an essential component of the IBM Rescue and Recovery utility. After the complete installation of the IBM Rescue and Recovery utility, the process ibmprc.exe can be found under the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Run. With the assistance of the ibmprc.exe file, the IBM Rescue and Recovery allows users to perform and manage backups. These backup files can then be stored on the hard disk or in removable media like an external USB hard drive, DVDs or CDs or on a remote network drive. Users can utilize the backups for restoring the contents of their hard disk drive in case an absolute operating system failure occurs.

In the event that users choose to store their backups on a removable media or remote network drive and a hard disk mechanical failure occurs, users can restore their files, documents, etc. of their hard disk to the previous state following the installation of a hard disk drive replacement with the aid of the ibmprc.exe file. They can also schedule backup tasks and configure them to execute automatically on a particular time and day, or manually perform a backup operation at any time necessary.

The IBM Rescue and Recovery program contains two major components that the ibmprc.exe supports. One of the components resides outside the Windows operating system environment and it is called the Rescue and Recovery workspace. On the other hand, the other component resides within the Windows operating system environment and has the same features as the Rescue and Recovery workspace.

However, it is important to note that the capability of the IBM Rescue and Recovery program to execute backups is only allowed by utilizing the components of the Rescue and Recovery in the Windows operating system environment. The capability to perform backups is the key for users to perform the other rescue and recovery tasks within the Windows environment and within the workspace.
