Nero BackItUp ImageTool is started from the bootable CD/DVD that you created with Nero BackItUp. If booting from the CD/DVD, the computer is started without having to access the hard drive. Since the hard drive is disabled, backup or restore without verification errors is possible. 
 
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled for the computer to be able to boot from the disc: 
The start sequence must be set in the BIOS of the computer in such a way that the drive is addressed first as the boot drive (start sequence CD-ROM, C, A for instance).
In the case of an SCSI CD-ROM drive, this drive must be connected to an SCSI adapter with a separate BIOS in which settings can be modified accordingly. (This will only work if there are no IDE hard drives present, as these come before the SCSI adapter in the boot sequence.)
The bootable CD/DVD that you created with Nero BackItUp is placed in the drive.
