Backup Program

With Nero BackItUp you can carry out drive backups. In contrast to file backups, drive
backups restore programs and operating systems when restoring.
It is not possible to update a drive backup.
The first step is selecting a drive to back up.
The next step is to select a target where to save the backup. You can save the backup on your
hard drive or removable data media, burn them to a disc or use an online storage. When you
back up a drive, the backup file is usually quite large. If you burn the backup to disc, you will
usually require multiple discs. The first backup disc is always a bootable disc. If you do not
burn the backup to disc, it is still quite useful to create a bootable disc so that you can start
the computer (and the drive restore) from CD / DVD in the event of an emergency.
At last you can make settings according to your preferences.
