Articles Nero BackItUp & Burn

Experience the burning power of Nero

So you've finally decided to create backup copies on a regular basis. Good for you! Now the only thing left is to find the right app for the task.

Nero BackItUp & Burn, included as part of Nero Multimedia Suite 10, is a worthy choice. Not only because it's a Nero app – which always guarantees a high quality product – but because it features all the tools and functions you need to backup your sensitive data in a very easy, efficient way.

With Nero BackItUp & Burn you can create backup copies on demand by manually selecting the files and folders you want to include in them – even the complete hard drive - or set the program to do it automatically without user intervention. These automatic backups can be scheduled according to a certain period of time or set to run every time you change a certain file or folder on the system. As well as backups, you can synchronize folders and choose whether to set up regular tasks or not.

All the processes in Nero BackItUp & Burn are done step by step, and are really accessible and easy. At the same time, there is nothing in the setup process that will irritate seasoned users. It has a fast, clear and concise interface that's a great improvement over the previous version 4.

Nero BackItUp & Burn is a complete backup utility that provides you with all the tools you need to create, restore, schedule and manage data backups.

I am used to use old versions of Nero BackItUp to do incremental backups on DVD discs. In old versions, to do that I just needed to select the last backup I did and then BackItUp automatically recovered the files and directory to be backed up. With BackItUp & Burn, I couldn´t find a way to do that. I need to select the directories and files again in order to do an incremental backup. I´m really not satisfied with it, and hope this is a bug that will be fixed. Another problem I found is that I´m not allowed to select the backup to be recorded in DVD image recorder (there´s a choice to select the image recorder as destination of the backup, but it only generates CD images, you are not able to generate DVD images). Still regarding backup to image recorder, when the backup needs to be spanned through more than one disc, with previous versions you need only to provide the name of the first image, and BackItUp automatically generated the following image names, by adding a sequence number to the name you provided. You could start the backup and let the computer working by itself. Now you are prompted to enter the name of each image. That means that you need to stand by the computer till it reaches the last disc. Depending on the backup, you´ll need to stay ther for hours...

Pros

Automatic bakcup on the fly
