5.5 PatchiX Training

Recovering from Errors
In many cases HP Patch/iX allows you to recover from errors at a place close to where
the error occurred. HP Patch/iX maintains a binary recovery file called
PMRECOVR.INSTALL.SYS that contains information about the last run of the tool.
When you restart HP Patch/iX, it will look for this file, and if found, ask you whether you
want to recover. If you respond Yes HP Patch/iX will restore the environment from this
file. It will also tell you where you last left off.
