Hello,

While digging some old recovery DVD, I noticed that file does not 
recognize Acer eRecovery backups. After a bit of online search, I found 
multiple forum posts claiming that Acer eRecovery and Lenovo OneKey 
Recovery are in fact rebranded versions of Wasay ImageIt software.
One of these posts is this one from Neowin that explains clearly the 
format:

Attached you may find a patch that enables file to recognized Wasay 
ImageIt DataPacks.

I tested the patch on samples from my old backups:
```
pop01redacted.000: Wasay ImageIt DataPack v5.1, "POP01redacted" (0), 
created on 2008/10/28 05:19:58, size: 52420867 bytes
pop01redacted.009: Wasay ImageIt DataPack v5.1, "POP01redacted" (9), 
created on 2008/10/28 05:19:58, size: 52394446 bytes
pop01redacted.077: Wasay ImageIt DataPack v5.1, "POP01redacted" (77), 
created on 2008/10/28 05:19:58, size: 52374755 bytes
```

Thanks a lot,
Best,
