Acer Backup Manager

Note: This feature is only available on certain models.
Acer Backup Manager is a utility that enables you to do a variety of
backup functions each accomplished in only three simple steps. You can
even set these functions to automatically recur as often as your like.
To start Acer Backup Manager in Windows 8, simply start typing "Backup
Manager". Alternatively, in Desktop mode, select Acer Backup Manager.
This opens the Welcome screen; from this screen you can select the type
of backup you'd like to create.
• Back Up My Files: Select files to back up.
• Image My Drive: Create a backup file for the entire drive. You can burn
this file to a DVD, save them to another drive on your computer*, or
save them to removable media (i.e. a flash drive) to restore your
computer at a later time.
• Migrate My Files: Allows you to copy files to a USB device so that you
can migrate files from your old computer to your new one or any other
computer with Acer Backup Manager.
• Clear out / Restore Files: Remove seldom used files to free up disk
space or restore files from your backup.
Select the backup type you'd like to make and select the files or drive you
want to back up, then follow the onscreen instructions:
1. Select the content you want to back up. The less content you select, the
quicker the process will be, but it will increase your risks of losing data.
