Recovery of the original configuration under Windows or by using Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

configuration. This backup is normally created and provided to Acronis Secure Zone by a hardware
supplier who delivers computers to end-users.
When recovery is from factory bootable media, the media includes a backup with factory image
configuration.
