38 - Acer Backup Manager
• 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.
2. Select where you want the backup copies to be stored. Your options
include removable media, a drive on your computer*, CD/DVD media, a
remote PC, or the cloud using Microsoft SkyDrive.
3. Select how often you want Acer Backup Manager to create backups.
Once you have finished these three steps, backups will be created
according to the schedule.
*NOTE: You will need to select an external drive or your D: drive; Acer
Backup Manager cannot store a backup on the source drive.
