Introduction
One Button Recover (OBR) provides a one-touch recovery function to restore
a system to the factory default or a user-defined backup point. If the
system crashes and cannot boot up again, you can use OBR to restore your
system to a healthy status.

Notes
1) OBR is only available in the Acer pre-configured image. If you format
the hard drive by yourself and reinstall the operating system or change
hard drives, OBR will not function.
2) Restoring your system via OBR will only restore the C: partition. Any
data on other drives or partitions will not be affected.
