Overview
Acer eRecovery Management is a lightweight backup and recovery tool created to serve the needs of ACER laptop users for safeguarding their personal and work data from unintentional loss, data corruption, or hardware failures. Because of its simplicity, practicality, and streamlined user interface, this application can also be used by anyone else running modern Windows OS to create backup files and restore the system in the event of sudden data loss.
Acer eRecovery Management places a big focus on the simplicity of use. Once you have downloaded and installed this app, you will gain access to the main screen of the app that showcases all the present backup archives detected on the local storage. If there are no backups available in the “User Backup History” listing, the only option that will be available to use is the “Create” button that will initialize the creation of new backup archives. Those archives will be full (which cover both the OS and user files) or incremental which will identify only the files that were modified since the last backup was performed. Users can use these incremental backups to always keep their files safe without straining their local storage with too many large backup archives. Each backup can be named by the user and managed from the main screen of the app.
To initiate the Restore feature, users will have to move to the Restore tab that is located on the bottom of the app. It is highly recommended to store backup archives on a separate drive or partition. Additionally, a third tab is also present that allows the burning of the backup archives to a CD or DVD, thus creating an additional layer of data protection if a computer virus or hardware failure leads to the deletion of local copies of backup archives.
Even though Acer eRecovery Management does not feature any advanced options such as automatic backup service or versioning of actively used files, it can still provide an incredible amount of functionality to users who just want to protect their files from unexpected data loss. The app is 100% FREE and is optimized for use on Windows XP and newer OS releases.
