Hi there,

Last week I bought an Acer Aspire 4755G for my daughter. It's running Windows 7 Home Basic. Now I would like to upgrade it to Windows 8 but first I need to backup the computer. When I tried to perform a Windows Backup to an external USB disk it failed with the following message:

(Computer has the dutch language)

I looked on one support site of microsoft which says one should install Windows6.1-KB982018-v3-x64, but this update was already installed.

Next I turned to Acer Backup Manager. With that I've made a backup file and a Bootable DVD. When I boot with this DVD I have no access to my external Seagate USB hard drive.

I have copied the backup files to the local harddisk, but when I open the cal file of this backup I cannot select a destination where to restore my files.

Does anybody know what I need to do so I can at least perform a Full Windows Backup?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Bas

I am having the same issue with the Acer Backup Manager right now, were you ever able to solve this?

Acer backup won't work on my computer. I get a message "no sufficient permission"

Try running your backup software as Administrator.

(Right click stortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.)

This will elevate your privilege level.
