Autobackup

9 Autobackup

You can use Nero BackItUp to set up and configure the automatic Autobackup. Once it has

been set up, Autobackup is available on your computer's system tray and backs up the fold-

ers that you specify in the background. During this process, the existing backup is replaced

by the current one.

In addition to a hard drive, you can use the Nero Online Backup Internet service as a backup

target. Autobackup can then restore the saved files from there.

9.1 Configuring Autobackup

In order for Autobackup to be able to carry out the automatic backup process according to

your preferences, configure which file types should be automatically backed up in which fol-

ders and define the backup target.

Autobackup

This update backup method is used for automatic backups made through Auto-

backup. In this process, the data from the previous backup is overwritten with

the modified data. This means that there are no backup versions, i.e. accessing

older backup versions is not possible.

Files that are deleted from a monitored folder are kept in the backup. If you

want to delete these files from the backup as well, then use the delete feature,

which can be selected in the Autobackup screen.
