File Backup 6 File Backup You can back up files with Nero BackItUp. You can burn the backups to a disc, or save to a hard drive (internal, external, USB, or FireWire®. It is even possible to save to an FTP server as image file. A file backup is useful to protect against data loss that can occur due to hardware damage or force majeure (fire etc.). Consequently we recommend executing a file backup so that should such an event occur, data that is as current as possible can be restored.
File Backup Fig. 5: File Backup screen 2. If you want to use a profile with a pre-defined combination of filters (see Backup tab), then select the appropriate profile from the selection menu.

If you want to select filters, click on the Add button in the extended section (see Selecting and combining filters). 5. The files that do not correspond to the filter criteria will be excluded from the backup. Nero BackItUp will automatically gray out the check box preceding the respective file. 6.
File Backup 3. Select the desired file backup and click on the Open button. Æ The Backup Summary dialog box will open. It will tell you whether changes are present, how many folders and files have been removed, and how many files have been changed. Fig. 7: Backup Summary dialog box 4. Click on the OK button. Æ The Backup Summary dialog box will close. The selection of the existing backup will be transferred into the File Backup screen. 5.
File Backup If you want to back up recently added files using the backup types incremental and differential backup, then ensure that the Add new files to incremental or differential backup check box is selected in the options (see Backup tab). Î You have selected a file backup to update. Proceed with the update by clicking on the Next button and specifying the target of the backup (see Start backup).
File Backup The procedure for the Update backup backup type varies depending on the medium on which you will back up. If you are backing up to a hard drive with the backup type Update backup, then the data of the previous backup will be overwritten with the changed data. This means that older versions will be erased; access to older backup states will no longer be possible.
File Backup 1st backup 2nd backup 3rd backup Data on the computer Incremental backup Differential backup Fig 9: Data backup distinction between differential and incremental backup Page 29
Drive backup 7 Drive backup With Nero BackItUp you can backup entire drives. As opposed to file backup, drive backup restores programs and operating systems. You can burn the backup to a disk or save it on a hard drive. It is also possible to save the backup as an image file on an FTP server. When you backup a drive the backup file is usually quite large. If you burn to a disc, you will usually require multiple discs. The first backup disc is always a bootable disc.
Drive backup You can also start the drive backup via the Wizard. To do this click on the menu icon Wizards > Create New Drive Backup, or on the button Wizards > Drive Backup. The button that updates the drive information is not available in the Wizard. 2. If you want to backup a hard drive, click on the appropriate button under the Drive Name list overview. Æ The hard drive with all partitions is selected and marked (displayed with a dotted line). 3.
Start backup 8 Start backup After you have selected files and folders, or a drive to backup (see Selecting files or Drive backup) you can specify the target of the backup and start the backup. This is done in the screens Backup Settings and Completing the Backup Wizard (see Backup Settings screen and Completing the Backup Wizard screen). 8.
Start backup The dialog box with the message "Nero BackItUp cannot block the selected partition/hard drive..." is not an error message, rather it is only a comment indicating that the partition is still being used by Windows®. For the backup this means that system files can be changed during the backup process. In other words at the end of the backup process there may be errors when verifying the data.
Start backup Æ If the backup will be burned on multiple discs, then the dialog window Wait for disc will open and the drive will eject the disc when the storage capacity of the disc is reached. 9. Remove the recorded disc and insert a new recordable disc. Æ The backup process continues and the newly inserted recordable disc will be burned. 10. Repeat the previous step until the backup has been completely burned on disc.
Start backup 8.2 Uploading a backup to an FTP server With Nero BackItUp you can upload the backup to an FTP server and save it there. This feature is only available if you have entered an FTP server in the options (see FTP tab). To start the backup and upload to an FTP server, proceed as follows: 1. Select the desired FTP server in the Target combo box. 2. If you want to specify a directory on the server: 1. Click on the Æ button. The Open Folder window will open. 2.
Start backup 8.3 Saving the backup as image file With Nero BackItUp and the Nero image recorder you can save the backup as image. An image file is an individual file on the hard drive that contains an image of a complete disk. Basically you can think of an image file as a "virtual disk". You can burn copies of this image file as often as you like. The Nero image recorder is also suitable for creating an image of a disc type not supported by the installed recorder.
Start backup Fig. 13: Backup Wizard window, Backup Process screen Æ The Save Image File dialog box will open. 8. Specify a save path and a file name and click on the Save button. Æ The backup process will continue. You can track the process via the progress bar.

If you do not have a virtual drive available, or if your virtual drive cannot read the disc type of the image, then click on the Cancel button. Æ The backup process will be canceled and a window with an appropriate error message will be displayed. However this has no bearing on the backup of the image file - the image file has already been created. You will find it at the specified location under the selected name. 10.
Start backup 11. Click on the OK button. Æ The dialog box will close. Î You have created an image of the backup with the image recorder. You can burn this disc image on an appropriate disc later on using Nero Burning ROM or Nero Express. In the Backup Process screen you can save the log, or click on the Next button and start other actions, such as re-executing the same backup, creating a new backup, or closing the wizard. Nero Burning ROM is a burning program with a variety of possibilities.
