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 steps 3 to 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.
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.
To use the Burn Disk utility:
1 Click the Burn Disk button.
2 Select an option from the Burn Disk window.
Burn 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.
Burn 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.
