Nero BackItUp for Windows

Nero BackItUp, a cloud storage solution, is part of many Nero applications and suites. It is also available as a standalone product, which can be purchased on a subscription basis. Nero BackItUp competes directly with services like Dropbox and Google Drive. It gives its own offering a media-specific spin.

Nero BackupItUp is advertised as a general cloud storage solution for all files and media. However, it can also back up to local media such as hard drives, USB storage, DVDs, network drives, and so forth. This is a sign of its heritage. It's a precloud product that has been modified to include cloud storage options as the market has expanded.

Nero BackItUp, like its competitors, saves different file versions to make it easy to recover older files. You can also download backup apps for iOS or Android. The free software allows users to back up up to 5 computers or laptops with one account. There is no limit on the number of mobile devices that can also be backed up.

All Nero BackItUp subscriptions come with encryption and compression to ensure storage is fast, secure, and efficient.

There are three price tiers that depend on how much storage space you need.

5 PRO is a 5GB account that is affordable and includes manual backup on request25 PRO increases the storage to 25GB, and includes automatic backupThe last plan is unlimited, which means there is no storage limit

Uploading gigabytes worth of data takes time, as does retrieving it again. Unlimited will require a fast connection to allow you to upload the data.

Nero BackItUp is especially useful for those who have a lot of home-made content stored on their mobile devices. These photos and videos can be streamed from anywhere once they are stored in the cloud.
