1.1 About Nero BackItUp
Nero BackItUp is a program for backing up and restoring data. Nero BackItUp saves files
(file backup) as well as programs and operating systems (drive backup).
Open files can be backed up with the shadow copy feature, while you continue to work on
the file. You can burn the backup to a disc, or save it to hard drive, or on an FTP server.
Saving as an image file is also possible. With Nero BackItUp you can verify at any time that
the backed up data is complete and correct.
Use Nero BackItUp to set up jobs for regular data backup that are executed automatically.
Nero BackItUp can create bootable discs and, if necessary, it can restore a previously
backed up system.
