Nero nero backitup User Manual

•  4 

Nero BackItUp is a program for backing up and restoring data, which is easy to 
use, convenient and powerful. Sensitive and other important data, in particular, 
should be stored on more than one medium so that it is always available when 
required. There are any number of situations where the lack of a backup causes 
trouble and wastes time and money. These include formatting a hard disk, a 
faulty hard disk, theft, fire or simply deleting data by mistake.  

With Nero BackItUp you can back up your data, restore the backed up data and 
set up jobs to run automatically. One medium in particular (CD or DVD) offers a 
safe and cost-effective backup solution, and Nero BackItUp makes burning 
backup CDs child's play. 

 

 

 

With Nero BackItUp you can burn both CDs and DVDs. For this reason, we use 
the generic term 'medium' in this manual. You can burn CDs both with a CD 
recorder and a DVD recorder. The result depends on the medium you use. With 
a CD recorder you can only burn CDs and not DVDs.  

The data you want to back up can be stored in any of the following locations: 

 

Hard disk 

 

Network (LAN) 

 

CD or DVD 

 

Image recorder 

If you have more than one recorder available, you can choose the one you want 
to use quickly and easily.  

As Nero BackItUp uses Nero's burn functions, it is very easy to create CDs. You 
can burn your backup files onto a multi-session CD, which means that you can 
create backups at different times but put them on the same medium. 

If the amount of data to be backed up will not fit on one medium, this is no 
problem for Nero BackItUp, because it is possible to extend the backup process 
over several media. 

The data to be backed up does not have to be on your local PC. You can also 
access it over the network. 

The following backup variants are available to ensure that the backup process fits 
your requirements:
