BackItUp

 

Nero BackItUp icon Nero BackItUp is a program to easily backup and restore (important) data. BackItUp can write to both CD and DVD media and uses the Nero write engine for burning. Data that has to be back upped can be stored on a hard disk, network (LAN), CD/DVD or on the image recorder.


About Nero BackItUp

When starting Nero BackItUp you of course see the main program window, which to my opinion looks a bit like Microsoft’s Outlook software. In the main BackItUp window we have three basic tasks; Backup, Restore and Jobs:

The Nero BackItUp software works very easy. Just press one of the buttons and a wizard will guide you through the backup process.

Notice that in the screenshot above, items with a white square can be selected and items with a grey square (like My Network Places and the Recycle Bin) cannot be selected.

Thanks for the sneak preview. How come you didn't (get to) preview NeroMix? Seems only to be available in the U.S. (Ultra edition) for some reason.

interesting preview and yes Nero 6 looks nice but frankly I dont find it nice enough to shell out 59.00-79.00 particularly since I have yet to see a version of InCD 4 that works properly.

Thanks for the excellent review. Great job as always! I just hope this won't be as bloated and as buggy as Easy Coaster Creator :r. And I see no mention of support for the excellent Ogg Vorbis and FLAC audio formats. But they still support this crappy WMA :r.

My opinion is for the 59-79 I would expect a program that can copy any protection like CloneCD or CDmate does and a DVD movie copier like DVDXCopy or CloneDVD all in one package. (Hint, Hint, Elby come out with a package software that is 1 app that does it all). Later all

Is Nero 6 going to be limited to the Joliet file format which only supports up to 64 characters for file names? Or will it support the ability to create files with file names larger than 64 characters? cya

One more thing: I agree that the price is high... but that's not a problem. For that price you can buy a new cd burner with Nero 6 bundled :B cya

When creating a new compilation you indeed have an option called 'Relax Joliet restrictions' under which an option is available that says 'allow more than 64 characters for Joliet names'.

I thought it had been reported that 'relax joliet restrictions' in 5.5 did not actually work properly - can anyone confirm this?

Well, will there be any compatibility problems if I select 'allow more than 64 characters for Joliet names'. Also, whats the max characters I can have in a file name after selecting this option. I have a habit of giving very long names to files & so for burning my personal data I use RecordNow Max as it allows 200+ characters in a file name.

Totally un-reliable. Most of the time the 'BURN' option is shaded out. Ugly old fashioned software.
