Backup Program

With Nero BackItUp you can back up data. Click the Backup menu to start the desired
backup task. The following backup tasks are available:

Autobackup

With Nero BackItUp, you can set up and configure Autobackup, the automatic backup feature.
Once it has been set up, Autobackup is available on your computer's system tray and backs
up specified folders in the background.
Setting up Autobackup is particularly useful when you want to carry out regular backups
for the same files. The advantages are, e.g. that all the settings for the backup have already
been configured and that there is no risk of forgetting a backup date or of not carrying out a
backup as scheduled (as long as the computer is on).

File backup

If you choose a file backup, the individual files and folders that you select are backed up.
If you want to back up the same files again later, a backup update makes it easier and saves
resources and other things.
A file backup is useful to protect against data loss that can occur due to hardware damage
or force majeure (fire, etc.). As a result, we recommend frequent backups so that you can
restore data that is as current as possible in case of loss.

Drive backup

If you choose drive backup, entire drives (hard drives and / or partitions) are backed up,
including the programs and the operating system. You can select the drives to be backed up.
In contrast to file backups, drive backups restore programs and operating systems when
restoring. So, a drive backup is useful to set up the whole operating system plus programs
In case of hardware damage.

Verification

Nero BackItUp can be used to verify an existing backup. Nero BackItUp verifies
whether or not the backup can be used for a successful restore process. During this
process, data integrity is checked, and the backed up data is compared to the source
data. If you carry out the verification right after the backup and have not modified any
data in the meantime, you can use the feature to verify whether or not all data was
backed up successfully (Data verification).
