    Hi JuckyJam,Have just done my first disc backup using NeroBackitup.If you are backingup a disc you will need to go into BIOS and change your boot order so that you are booting from your Dvd and not your hard disc.Hope this is a help Cheers flylor

    Thanks much flyer I tried booting from the dvd drive as you said and it booted ok but then the dos program is telling me that there is no back up files on the dvd, so I did a browse of the dvd in the dos program and i saw the files related to the nero dos program but not the DAT files, so it seems that nero dos program is not recognising the DAT files either.

    What version are you using ? If you are using any Backitup version of Nero 7 you will eventually find its very buggy and not very reliable.

    Ok just looked at the Nero page and I had no idea they had implemented bootable backups awhile back. I have been using an older more stable version of Nero 7 like many people on this board and was not aware of this new feature - Sorry

    So the newer versions of Backitup store in .dat files ? Is this because of compression or are you not using compression?

    hey i ran into a prob today when i tride to open the back it up discs. anyway if you read the read me!!!!!!! file it will tell you what file you need to copy to open the Unzip the back it up. if there is more than 1 disc it will be on the last disc copy the file to where youre going to restore everything then put the first disc in and double click the file you copied and follow the instructions.
