12.4 Drive Backup
With Nero BackItUp ImageTool you can back up a hard drive or partition. The advantage in
comparison to drive backups made with Nero BackItUp is that the drive is not active, since
Nero BackItUp ImageTool is booted from the disc. This way, no verification errors occur dur-
ing the backup process - active hard drives can be backed up.
To back up a drive with Nero BackItUp ImageTool, you must first select the backup source.
You can then write the backup to a disc or save it to a hard drive. It is also possible to save it
to an FTP server.
If you connect a device, you may need to click the Rescan Devices button in the extended
area so that Nero BackItUp ImageTool recognizes the devices.
