Acer eRecovery Management

Acer eRecovery Management is a powerful utility that does away with the need for recovery disks provided by the manufacturer. The Acer eRecovery Management utility occupies space in a hidden partition on your system's HDD. User-created backups are stored on D:\ drive. Acer eRecovery Management provides you with:

•Password protection.

•Recovery of applications and drivers.

•Image/data backup:

•Backup to HDD (set recovery point).

•Backup to CD/DVD.

•Image/data recovery tools:

•Recover from a hidden partition (factory defaults).

•Recover from the HDD (most recent user-defined recovery point).

•Recover from CD/DVD.

For more information, please refer to "Acer eRecovery Management" on page 69 in the AcerSystem User's Guide.

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.
