Backup Program

With Nero BackItUp, you can set up and configure the automatic Autobackup. Once

it has been set up, Autobackup is available on your computer's notification area and
backs up the folders that you specify in the background.

You can choose between two Autobackup options:

1. Activate Autobackup to automatically back up files and folders to local and

external hard drives

2. Activate Autobackup with Nero Online Backup to automatically back up files

and folders online.

The one Autobackup option stores the backup on a hard drive whereas the other
Autobackup option uses the Internet service Nero Online Backup to store the backup
online. When using Autobackup to store on a hard drive, you can define a backup
schedule. The Autobackup that stores online does so automatically every time a
change in the monitored folders takes place.

Caution

- Autobackup formats the external or internal hard drive with the NTFS file

system if it is formatted with another file system. In this case, all data on
this drive will be lost.

Storing on Hard Drive With Autobackup

With Nero BackItUp you can set up and configure Autobackup to automatically

back up files and folders to a local or external hard drive.

We recommend the drive to be empty. Once it has been set up, Autobackup is

available in the Windows notification area. Autobackup regularly backs up
all folders on all hard drives in a defined sequence. You can also choose
individual folders and define your own time schedule.

Setting up Autobackup is particularly useful when you want to carry out regular

backups. 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).

Caution - Use only hard drive with more than 4 GB

If you want to use an external hard drive which is not formatted
with the NTFS file system, make sure that its space has more than
4 GB.

Formatting with the NTFS file system and thus using the Autobackup
feature is not possible for some external hard drives (e.g. flash drive
or USB stick) with a space less than 4 GB due to technical hard ware
restrictions, and may cause serious problems on existing file system.
