Acer eRecovery Management
Acer eRecovery Management is a versatile backup utility. It allows you to create full or incremental backups,
burn the factory default image to optical disc, and restore from previously created backups or reinstall
applications and drivers. By default, user-created backups are stored to the D:\ drive.
Acer eRecovery Management provides you with:
TPassword protection (Empowering Technology password)
TFull and incremental backups to hard disk or optical disc
TCreation of backups:
tFactory default image
tUser backup image
tCurrent system configuration
tApplication backup
TRestore and recovery:
tFactory default image

NOTE: If your computer did not come with a Recovery CD or System CD, please use Acer eRecovery
Management's "System backup to optical disc" 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.
