3 Backup

3.1 File Backup

You can back up files with NBCmd. You can burn the backup to a disc or hard drive. It is also possible to save on an FTP server. A file backup is useful to protect against data loss that can occur due to hardware damage or force majeure (fire, etc.). Consequently we recommend executing frequent file backups so that, should such an event occur, data that is as current as possible can be restored.

Command line:

--filebackup

--sourcepath <sourcepath1, sourcepath2, … sourcepathn>

--location <location> [--output_folder <output folder>] [--backuptype <update/differential/incremental>

--source_backup <source backup>] [--shadowcopy <0/1>]

--backupname <backupname> [--verify <0/1>] [--password <password> --encrypt_type <standard/aes>] [--compress <low/middle/high>] [--comments <comments>] [--log_file <log_file>]

3.2 Drive Backup

You can take backup of single drive partition, multiple drive partitions or complete drives. with NBCmd. In contrast to the file backup, the drive backup restores programs and operating systems when restoring. You can burn the backup to a disc or save it to a hard drive. It is also possible to save the backup to an FTP server.

When you back up a drive, the backup file is usually quite large. If you burn the backup to disc, you will usually require multiple discs. The first backup disc is always a bootable disc. If you do not burn the backup to disc, it is still quite useful to create a bootable disc so that you can start the computer (and the drive restore) from CD/DVD in the event of an emergency.
