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.
