Nero BackItUp & Burn

Nero does not just do automatic backup; installing it also changes your audio driver, and in my case the result was scratchy audio. SO I uninstalled Nero using Windows XP’s add/remove programs, and I reset the system to the last checkpoint before installing Nero. But the audio driver is still not working. I’ll have to purchase and install a new sound card with new software- not that costly, but a serious drag.
Note that Nero does NOT offer free technical support. (They charge $1.29 per minute, with no guarantee of resolution. Thus it could well be cheaper, in the end, for me to just purchase a new sound card for $20, rather than enriching Nero, which in my view is undeserving.)
Thus, I strongly caution you NOT to purchase any Nero products UNLESS your retailer offers free technical support for it OR you are a very advanced techie. If you are an ordinary user/consumer, use at your own risk.

I really enjoy how easy it is to copy, burn, and back up. It has tools to help you around the software but haven’t found the need to. I really enjoy adding this software to better help my computer needs.

I purchased this application in December to back up my files and folders. It worked for all of one week. Then, for some unkown reason it started to crash on me. It would load of the files I wanted burned but then would kick out my disc after anylizing my files. I tried burning some audio files using BackIt and it would do the same thing. I finally got tired of it and uninstalled it before it wrecked my PC. I gave 32 dollars to Amazon for nothing. Never again!!!

Ok, I refer to Backup tool that came with Nero 8. BUT since Nero have not released a fix to that version it’s reasonable to assume that it is still broken. Otherwise Nero have cheated earlier customers by providing software not fit for its purpose.
There were several reports of the same type of failure (only visible in log file, C-based errors), so it was not an isolated case. Furthermore a respondent in one report claimed to be a Nero Employee (but offered no fix).
So be safe and don’t buy this.

My wife kept bugging me to backup all our family photographs, videos and emails. A friend highly recommended the new Nero software, so I bought it
I was skeptical about it, but after the short install I was overwhelmed by the feature set – yet easy to use.
You can backup files, volumes, hard drives, discs, you can move all content from one hard drive or volume to another, make it bootable, backup to ftp, with all different settings. In short it can do all the functions I have seen with other backup software, and even much more. Very sophisticated.
I especially love the automatic mode, which backups all important files automatically without the need to select folders or files from my different volumes. It just finds the right files, and saves them. Works great. I highly recommend this feature. It can even save all our family files to online storage – but this costs extra money, so you need to check if you need that. If not, then I recommend using the software to save the family files automatically to a local backup hard drive (very cheap) and put it in a save place.
Nice is also the included Nero burning application and a tool to recover deleted data from a CD or DVD or hard drive.
PRO: fast, easy-to-use, high quality software, great price
CON: online storage backup is not free
