Password protection.

Recovery of applications and drivers. Image/data backup:

Back up to HDD (set recovery point).

Back up to CD/DVD. Image/data recovery tools:

Recover from a hidden partition (factory defaults).

For more information, please refer to “Acer eRecovery Management”

NOTE: If your computer did not come with a Recovery CD or System CD, please use Acer eRecovery Management’s “System backup to optical disk” feature to burn a backup image to CD or DVD. To ensure the best results when recovering your system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals (except the external Acer ODD, if your computer has one), including your Acer ezDock.
