Acer Backup Manager is a simple three-step process that allows you to
create backup copies of your entire system or selected files and folders
according to a schedule or as you need to.
To start Acer Backup Manager, press the Acer Backup Manager key
above the keyboard. Alternatively, you can go to Start > All Programs >
Acer Backup Manager > Acer Backup Manager. This will open 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 to restore your computer at a later time or create the
file on a USB drive.
• Migrate My Files: Allows you to copy files to a USB device so that you
can migrate your files to a new computer.
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.
2. Select where you want the backup copies to be stored. You will need to
select an external drive or your D: drive; Acer Backup Manager cannot
store a backup on the source drive.
