Using the user interface
Acer eRecovery Management uses an intuitive user interface to guide you through the various backup and recovery processes. This UI is detailed below.
Password
Acer eRecovery Management requires a password to activate. The default password is six zeros (0s).
Reminder to burn factory image to disk
The first time you use Acer eRecovery Management, you are reminded to burn the factory image (from the hidden partition) to an optical disk.
Once the disks have been burned, or if you have checked the checkbox in the lower left-hand corner of the screen, the reminder is no longer shown.
Create backup image
You can create a backup image of the current system configuration (applications, drivers and data).
It would be a good idea to create a backup on a regular basis to protect your system and data, or before installing new hardware or software. There are two choices once you click on “Recovery settings”.
