2.Select Full backup (slow), then click Next.

3.Enter a description of the backup image, then click Next.

4.When prompted, close all running applications, select Yes, then click Next. The backup process starts. A message will appear when the backup process is finished, or when it fails.

Creating an Incremental Backup

Instead of a full system backup, you can create an incremental backup image of the current system configuration to save space. Regular incremental backups are recommended to protect your system and data, especially before installing a new hardware component or software application. You can create multiple incremental backup points on top of one another.

1.Click the Backup button at the bottom of the window, then click Create.

2.Select Incremental backup (fast), then click Next.

3.Follow step 3 to step 4 of the previous section.

Deleting a User-Created Backup Point

You can delete a previously created backup image to free some HDD space. A confirmation message appears when you select this option. Click Yes to delete the backup image.

4.In the Acer eRecovery window, select Recovery actions and click Next.

5.Select the desired restore action and follow the instructions on screen to complete the restore process.

Copying to Disks

The Burn Disk function allows you to copy factory default settings images, backup images, current system configuration or application backups to a CD/DVD.

Using the Burn Disk Utility

1.Click the Burn Disk button.

2.Select an option from the Burn Disk window.

Burning a Backup Disk using Factory Default

The utility creates a backup disk containing the factory default settings. Select this option if you disabled copying the factory default settings image when you first launch the Acer eRecovery Management.

Burning a Backup Disk using User’s Backup

The utility copies the user’s backup image to the optical disk. You can restore the system to the desired backup point using this disk.

Copying Current System Configuration to Disk

The utility copies the current system configuration to the optical disk. This option creates a temporary backup point with the current system configuration without replacing the previous full backup point.

Burning an Application Backup Disk

The utility backs up all applications and drivers to the optical disk.

Restoring the System

The Restore function allows you to restore the system configuration using the factory default settings images, backup images, current system configuration or application backups copied in the CDs/DVDs.
