Use "Quick Computer" at any time to back up partitions with DVD

The current data is getting bigger and bigger, and CD-RW can't be backed up at all. It is a very good idea if you choose to back up the entire partition directly to a DVD disc for permanent storage. Even, we can dump the C drive on the DVD and wait for the system to slow down or crash and restore it. This way we can use the "fast computer" at any time. Fortunately, Nero Burning ROM provides such support.

After installing Nero 7.x, select "Start" → "All Programs" → "Nero 7 Premium" → "Data" → "Nero BackItUp" to start Nero BackIt.

After that, select the "File" → "New" → "Drive Backup" command (Figure 1), then you can see the window shown in Figure 2, you can see that Nero is scanning the current SCSI /IDE bus, find the drive device.
