Acer eRecovery Management

Acer eRecovery Management is a powerful utility with the need for recovery disks provided by 
the manufacturer. The Acer eRecovery Management utility occupies space in a hidden partition 
on the system’s HDD. Be default, user-created backups are stored on D:\ drive. Acer eRecovery 
Management provides:

•

Password protection

•

Recovery of applications and drives

•

Image or data backup:

•

Backup to HDD (set recovery point)

•

Backup to CD or DVD

•

Image/data recovery tools:

•

Recovery from a hidden partition (factory defaults)

•

Recovery from the HDD (most recent user-defined recovery point)

•

Recovery from CD or DVD

Note: 

If the 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 the system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, 
detach all peripherals (except external Acer ODD, if equipped), including the Acer ezDock.
