Simple Projects – How To Guide
One of the great benefits of Nero BackItUp & Burn is that users don’t need any prior training. The easy-to-use and intuitive user interface walks you step by step through each process.
Here are five projects that are easy to complete in just a short time.
Scenario: The computer fails to boot up, but valuable information needs to be retrieved from the machine. Nero BackItUp & Burn Fix: Even if you haven’t done a system backup, Nero BackItUp & Burn can help recover data from the defective computer. Even if the computer is not booting anymore, the drive can be backed up using ImageTool. In this instance, you would boot the system up from the bootable Nero BackItUp & Burn CD, go to Backup, select the partition containing the respective data, adjust the settings and save the data that had been considered lost. Of course, performing regular system backups using ImageTool increases the security of the data and ability to retrieve data in the event of a machine defect. Scenario: You want to work on a document for the office from your home computer. Nero BackItUp & Burn Fix: The portable SyncTool is a gadget that can be created for any external storage device. To use SyncTool, simply start Nero BackItUp & Burn, go to Tools and select the respective feature. This allows you to use a USB stick to sync a work folder with a folder on any external computer that you are working on – without having to install the application.
