Drive Backup

5 Drive Backup

You can back up entire drives with Nero BackItUp. In contrast to file backups, drive backups

restore programs and operating systems when restoring.

You can burn the backup to a disc or save it to a hard drive. It is also possible to save on an

FTP server or to save as an image file.

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.

It is not possible to update a drive backup.

Administrator rights

You must have administrator rights in order to back up and restore hard drives

and partitions.
