With Nero BackItUp you can set up and configure Autobackup to automatically back up files and folders online, using the Internet service Nero Online Backup as a backup location. Once it has been set up, Autobackup is available in the Windows notification area and backs up the folders that you specify in the background in the defined sequence.
Setting up Autobackup is particularly useful when you want to carry out regular backups for the same files and want to have a computer independent access to your data.
In order for Autobackup to be able to carry out the automatic backup process according to your preferences, configure which file types should be automatically backed up in which folders and define the backup target.

Nero Online Backup offers you an online data storage (which is subject to charge). We recommend a broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL-1000 or faster) for uploading the files to be backed up. The costs for the Internet connection and the costs for using the Internet service Nero Online Backup are the user’s responsibility.

The update backup method is used for automatic backups made through Autobackup. In this process, the data from the previous backup is overwritten with the modified data. This means that there are no backup versions, i.e. accessing older backup versions is not possible.
Files that are deleted from a monitored folder are kept in the backup. If you want to delete these files from the backup as well, then use the delete feature, which can be accessed in the Autobackup status screen.
